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.

The grapes were hand-picked at the end of September & underwent a 10 day long fermentation process in stainless steel tanks & then aged in Slovenian oak casks for a few months. This is a dry but fruit driven Dolcetto.
