San Fereolo Dogliani DOCG, Piedmont, 2013 Italy Chateau Lespault-Martillac a mineral-driven coreA release of about 13,000 bottles, the San Fereolo 2013 Dogliani Superiore San Fereolo is showing beautifully right now and gives us a fascinating window onto the bottle longevity of a relatively near term grape like Dolcetto.
