Alpha Box & Dice, Dead Winemaker Society, Dolcetto 2020

This was another recent find for us from the Alpha Box & Dice team – and we’re not surprised that they have made another beauty here !

Handpicked in the morning, the Dolcetto was destemmed into open fermenters and naturally fermented on skins until dry with gentle hand plunging. The wine is ages in stainless steel tank for 18 months then a further six months in bottle before release.

With a sweetly decomposing autumnal underbrush nose, the wine leads into a palate of ripe bitter cherries with a gently leafy tannic spine. Another deliciously more-ish Italianette varietal from AB&D. 14% vol. New vintage just arrived.
