Dolcetto, Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: The 2004 Dolcetto certainly exhibits the vintage’s trademark structure. In fact, we gave this wine an additional four months in barrel to soften the tannins and give the wine a silkier texture. You’ll find our typical dried cherry, rhubarb, and plum aromatics balanced by juicy acidity and red fruits on the palate. The finish is fruit driven, delicately spicy, and smooth.

Varietal Definition
Dolcetto:
Italian red grape from the Piedmont area of the North West. Produces soft varietal wines for early drinking. Gives lots of up front fruit with soft tannins with a style not unlike the Gamay of Beaujolais.
