Dolcetto originates from the Piedmont region of Italy. Less than one hundred acres are under vine in Califorina, which makes this offering from Domenico a special one.

 

Swirl a glass and take in the lovely layered nose of cherry and blackberry, along with floral highlights, nuances of nutty oak, and hints of dark chocolate. Flavors of sweet cherry, plum and blackberry emerge on the palate. Refined tannins and a touch of sweetness make the wine smooth and easy to drink; it’s dry finish endears the bottle to food quite nicely. Slightly sweet pasta dishes make for good parings, but for a real treat open a bottle with a lush dark chocolate dessert.
