From Italy - 2017 M Sokolin Dosset 2nd Edizione $150 6pack Dosset is the local dialect for Dolcetto. Inspired by producers like Vajra, Olek Bondonio, Chionetti, and Abonna, Mitchell decided to search out interesting parcels of Dolcetto, convinced that in the right hands, it can produce floral, perfumed wines full of interest and character. He eventually found the right site, a beautiful north-facing slope on white soils, just on the Dogliani side of Monforte. The fruit was fermented in stainless steel with almost half as whole bunches and the rest destemmed on top. After two weeks in tank, it was pressed off into old 300L barrels to finish fermentation. The wine made it to bottle with no fining, no filtration, and no additions besides SO2. 1973 bottles produced. |
