Eric Asimov Inexpensive Bottles For Stay-at-Home Drinking

"Dolcetto is a terribly underrated grape, and I’m not sure why. Good inexpensive bottles, like this one from Schiavenza in Serralunga d’Alba, are fresh, fruity, rich and joyous. For a little more money, you can find deeper, more complex and expressive wines. But good dolcetto requires a producer to take it seriously rather than treat it as a cheap, throwaway wine. Many, sadly, reserve their thought and effort for the big-money nebbiolo wines."
