2019 Enzo Boglietti Dolcetto D’Alba, Tiglineri, La Morra, Italy
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby color with a purple hue. The nose is loaded with ripe fruit, flowers and undergrowth. The palate is complex, profound, inebriating. An intriguing, savory, ever changing Dolcetto D’Alba from a very fine vintage.

Enzo Boglietti established his winery in 1991 in the heart of La Morra after growing up farming grapes, tending dairy cows, and making fine cheeses with his father. Since then, his holdings have grown to include 50 acres of single-vineyard sites scattered across the Langhe. Enzo might well be the most open-minded, progressive grower/vintner you’ll come across in Piemonte – Visit his winery during harvest and you will find new experiments around each corner, with carefully marked lots bubbling away in every vessel imaginable, from botti, to foudre, to concrete egg, to barrique.

@Mark_L it was like “absolutely no more wine orders…” Oh, this?? One-time opportunity from well-respected produced on the site? Ability to order 4 at not too much penalty though I’ll admit 12 was tempting.

This is an every day Italian food wine.
Ruby red with purple edges. Very little aroma. Medium body, blackberry and tart plum, occasionally a fleeting licorice on the palate. Medium + acidity and drying tannins. Long tart, peppery finish.
It’s fine with food, I wouldn’t serve as a cocktail.
Opened this with a friend who is just starting to get into wine. I will report his findings as well, most of which I explained to him were completely wrong in a sarcastic pretentious tone.
Very little fruit or heat on the nose. Faint blue and black berries. My buddy said raspberry (incorrect). The first sip sucked all the moisture out of our mouths, which completely caught him off guard (how cute). Dry and tannic with low smooth acidity and an extremely long finish.
Almost no fruit until passed through an aerator and or left to breath. The change after the first vinturi pass was pretty drastic and totally blew my friend’s (amateur, uninitiated) mind. The wine softened tremendously, and we were treated to black and Italian maraschino cherries, albeit without the sugar entirely, and a bouquet of violets. My friend got raspberries again and asked what a violet tastes like (seriously?). A few sips later, he said that he thought he tasted lavender (holy #$^%, he got one!)
I convinced him that it would go well with a tomato based sauce or a spaghetti bolognaise, which I bet he would make from a jar. We both agreed that we enjoyed this wine and the journey (or in his case, a short walk) that it took us on. At the case price, I would consider this a very good value.
I will gladly check in throughout the weekend if anyone has any questions, or would like me to pass along any messages to my friend, such as “Nice try!” or “Hang in there!” or “Have you ever tried bud light? Maybe you should stick with bud light.”

I guess yesterday drained the forum energy!

So yeah, depleted energy, depleted wallet.

Revisited tonight with Bolognese over bucatini. The tartness and tannins have softened.
