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!
Lovely ready now dry red. What You expect from down that way with no rough edges and just enough tannin to give it some grunt. Very good value at this price.
Have been buying this wine for years (and years). Consistently delivers a beautiful, savoury rhone wine experience. Definitely punches above its weight. Deep garnet, full bodied, leathery with light spice notes.
Dark, medium to full bodied, with mature flavours starting to evolve. Excellent value, typical Bordeaux wine. Could easily become our house favourite! Delivers very good value for the price.
