Winter cold is not really let go. But the urge for Dolcetto must mean that it is our way. We do tabberas the remaining bottles from Gerbolas bunker . Someone once a week, say, last Thursday, opened Cigliutis 2009 Dolcetto d'Alba Serraboella . The glass attracts the wine a little to brown at the edges. Directly after opening - and really cool - dominate strive tannins and a bitter after that is not entirely pleasant. A clean and fresh cherry fruit is there too, but the immediate love arises not. It feels a bit sprawling and unfocused. Add Parmesan and citroncestspäckade meatballs in tomato sauce does it work, however, the food takes to grind the rough edges. Ten months in steel tanks.
The next day, it's time to open Principianos * 2009 Dolcetto d'Alba Sant 'Anna . Here slamming it on the other hand, with all the charm right from the start. Young Ferdinando Principiano know how to put the audience on their feet. This is illande purple and dense, ystert young and frisky, but that soar far out of control. Sour cherry and sweet black morello cherries, good acidity. "Nul fad, nul Kunstig Gaer," said Gerbolas website. Principiano in recent years has gone for organic, while more traditional way.
For a piece of veal and a green salad is Sant 'Anna good. But it is also Serraboellon as two days, with little ventilation, have gathered themselves and become more harmonious. Tannins are working on, now more in the background. The question is not Cigliutin is just a bit better with your meal, while the Sant 'Anna is hard to beat when it comes to charm and accessibility.
Day three, the two combatants become obliga friends. The last dash of entry are a fruit-driven dance to a spaghetti bolognese. Presses one Dolcetto-fans Magnus Gerbola on which he would choose if he just fingering marketing an answer he Principiano. It's lucky that he has no such restriction. For although the Sant 'Anna is a particular favorite, you want variety. Cigliutis Serraboella I like to tell the stories so different from the first sip to the last - it is something I appreciate more and more of a wine.
Sant 'Anna costs 95 DKK and 100 DKK in Serraboella Gerbola (in February, the latter has reat for 85 DKK, maybe for the price still is).
* Principianos website is witty enough, "the fermentazione", then under construction.
