Tuscany vs Piemonte

Let's do a battle between Tuscany vs Piemonte, with an older Tuscan wine against a younger Piemontese wine.

First up is the older Tuscan wine Stielle from Rocca di Castagnoli. It is of vintage 2009 and ABV is 13,5%. It contains 100% Sangiovese grapes. It has been aged 18 months in oak and then 12 months in a bottle before being released. The taste is of red cherries and some black currants with soft tannins. A good wine that showcases the Sangiovese grape.

Next up is the younger wine from Piemonte and it is a Dolcetto D'Alba called A Elizabeth from producer Cascina delle Rose. It is made of 100% of the grape Dolcetto and is from 2015. The ABV is 13%.  The taste is dark cherries with some liquorice with some spices and tannins in the aftertaste. This is a good Dolcetto.

So who won. Here the Stielle wins due to a bit more complexity in taste while in price the Dolcetto wins.
