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!
I enjoyed the wine in so far as it is well rounded - the taste of black fruit evident - not sure about the liquorice though. All in all for the price a pleasant easy drinking wine.

Super ripe very smooth dry red, with just a hint of Cherries in that Italian style and You are able to drink this wine with or without food, Very good value at $20.
We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.
