One of the three main red grape varieties in Piedmont, North-West Italy. Stylistically this variety normally makes wines that are soft, round and fruity, due to the naturally low acidity of the grape. Flavours of liquorice, almonds and the hallmark "icing sugar" character can be found in the best examples. Usually Dolcetto makes for a light–bodied and early drinking style of wine, as it's not noted for its longevity. Dolcetto really comes into its own when paired with the right food. Try it with an authentic Italian Osso Buco!
The wine looks like one I shall enjoy and boast of once having consumed it.I intend sharing this splendid red with our son over Christmas - happy to furnish you with a tasting review then and , hopefully, purchase a few more bottles.
Took a punt on the 2011 Kairos Sauvignon Blanc & was pleasantly surprised at the drinkability of aged Sauv, I do not usually drink Sauvignon Blanc's but after drinking the Kairos I will drink more.
A little bit of pungency evident upon opening and best to let it breath for 30 minutes or so and the pungency dissipated and then the wine started to show its best - good fruit, vanilla/oak, balance and elegance!
