Beyond Nebbiolo: alternative reds from Piedmont

Article Abstract:

The two new wines Dolcettos and Barberas from Piedmont are very delicious and flavorful and can be a best alternative for Barolos and Barbarescos. The new wines are reported to be vibrant, fruity and slightly earthy and made to drink a year or two after bottling.
