'Sori' is Piedmontese dialect for the sunny south face of a hill. 'But' or Butti is the name of the hamlet where Anna Maria and her husband Franco's house and cellar are, a stunning spot in a very beautiful area. This is classic Dogliani Dolcetto, fermented and aged in stainless steel. It shows great color, reddish purple and violet-tinged, aromas of blueberries and tealeaf, and some tea tannins to go with the abundant fruit on the palate. Grill some lambchops, pour everyone a glass, and all will be right with the world. Awarded three stars by the New York Times in their article, "A Shy Italian, Made for Everyday." They said: "Fresh, forthright and lively, with lovely balance of flavors." (1/3/13)
