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.

Deep red-ruby. Nobly rustic aromas of medicinal black cherry, chocolate and black tea. Rich, lush and layered, with dark chocolate and cherry flavors complicated by earth and herbs. Elegant and seamless wine, at once layered and light on its feet. The firm tannins arrive late, allowing the medicinal cherry and intriguing soil tones to gain in sweetness and take on an even creamier texture.

OK, nothing special. Cherry raisins, a little muted on the fruit. Some leather and earth. I expected more from this producer, even from a dolcetto.
