The Dolcetto grape makes a deeply pigmented red wine with medium to high tannin and soft approachable acidity levels. Though the name, Dolcetto, means “little sweet one” in Italian, this is in reference to the grape’s ability to ripen before the region’s other red grapes, not the sweetness of the final wine (as it is a dry wine). The result is a deeply pigmented wine with fragrant and grapey notes, lots of plush black fruit, plum, licorice all balanced by a slight bitter almond note on the finish thanks to the grape’s naturally high tannins. Osvaldo Barberis grows and produces biodynamic wines in the Dogliani appellation (Langhe region in Piemonte.). Dogliani is considered the capital of Dolcetto and this wine is an honest and delicious expression of that terroir. Enjoy with salumi, pastas, pizza, mushroom dishes.
