Claudio Alario

This year, as last, I find Claudio Alario's Dolcetto Costafiore to be his most compelling wine. Diano is a town famous for the varietal and Alario seems to be able to coax a lot of personality from his old-vine plots. The Costafiore in particular is a wonderful, complex expression of Dolcetto that is packed with fruit, but with notable balance unlike some of the mega-Dolcettos being made elsewhere. Readers should note that Dolcetto is a varietal that tends towards reduction and these wines will benefit greatly from a little air.
