Fratelli Abrigo - Diano D'Alba Superiore 2018 ' Pietrin '

Robert Parker : 90+

' Here's a deep and extremely perfumed expression of the Dolcetto grape from 60-year-old vines. The Fratelli Abrigo 2018 Diano d'Alba Superiore Pietrin is a fruity, juicy and succulent expression. It would make a perfect partner to a medium-rare burger, the kind that drips down droplets of juice when you press down on the hamburger buns. Cherry liqueur and crème de cassis emerge with beautiful intensity. Bitter almond makes for a fitting kicker. As far as Dolcetto goes, you get a fine example of the grape right here. Some 5,000 bottles were made. '
