(12/2018) "The Pecchenino brothers produce excellent Barolo from their holdings in Monforte d'Alba, but their specialty is dolcetto, the premium grape of the Dogliani region just south of Monforte, where their farm is situated amid 54 acres of vines. This year our panels recommended all three of their dolcetto wines, from three very different vintages, a testament to their mastery over this finicky variety. The oak-aged 2016 Siri d'Jermu led the way with its inky purple hue and deep flavors of blueberry and wild raspberry highlighted by scents of violet and lavender. Delicious now for the vibrant fruit flavors, it has the firmness and freshness to age gracefully. Orlando Pecchenino recommends holding it for at least ten years."

(6/29/2018) "Dolcetto is sometimes considered the ugly duckling of the Langhe. But in a hot vintage such as this, the grape flaunts its inner beauty and charm. The 2017 Dolcetto d'Alba delivers earthy and raw aromas of black fruit, plum and black olive. There are dusty sensations of crushed mineral or granite on the close. The finish offers vibrancy, depth and freshness."

(6/2018) "The 2016 Dolcetto d'Alba is inky, deep and full of flavor. The imprint of Dolcetto comes through loud and clear in the inky blue/purplish fruit and spice flavors. Supple at the outset, but with good tannic grip, Vajra's Dolcetto delivers superb quality for the money. Drinking Window: 2017 - 2023."
