The Elio Altare 2018 Dolcetto d'Alba is precise and sharp with blueberry, black currant and tart cranberry. The wine offers bright and vivid primary fruit with dusty mineral notes at the back that recall crushed aspirin or limestone. The overall effect is simple and fresh, but you don't need much more to get satisfaction out of a cheerful and food-friendly wine such as this.
