What to Expect

Dolcetto is one of the most common grapes from Italy's Piedmont region. Its name refers to the sweetness of the grape, and while the wine can be fruity it is not sweet - in fact it often has a touch of bitterness on the finish. Dolcetto has moderate acidity and tannins and is generally made in an approachable style that highlights the grape's natural fruitiness which recalls blackberry and plum.

From the homonymous cru, at a 550-meter altitude and density of approx. 2,000 vines per acre. Fermentation lasts a mere 4 to 5 days, at 20/21° C, retaining all the immediate varietal appeal of Dolcetto.
