Dolcetto: the charm of the gentle-hearted Piedmont red
The Dolcetto is a true jewel of Piedmont, a land renowned for its winemaking tradition and its extraordinary variety of native grapes. This red wine, rooted in the hills of Langhe and Monferrato, is the ideal companion for those seeking a wine experience rich in nuances and history. Despite the misleading name, the Dolcetto is anything but sweet: it is a dry wine, characterized by a pleasant softness and surprising versatility.
The Dolcetto owes its origin to grapes of the same name, cultivated in vineyards that benefit from a temperate climate and a soil rich in limestone and clay. This unique terroir contributes to developing the wine’s distinctive character. The Dolcetto grapes are carefully harvested and undergo a fermentation process that enhances the freshness and liveliness of their aromas. The result is a wine with an intense ruby color, striking for its brilliance and lively personality.
The organoleptic profile of the Dolcetto is a true invitation to discovery: on the nose, there are fruity notes of cherry and blackberry, accompanied by delicate hints of almond and violet. On the palate, the Dolcetto stands out for its medium body, soft tannins, and balanced acidity that gives a pleasant freshness. The finish is harmonious and persistent, leaving a feeling of lightness and satisfaction.
Thanks to its delicate structure and versatility, the Dolcetto lends itself to a wide range of gastronomic pairings. It is the ideal companion for traditional Piedmontese dishes, such as agnolotti al plin or mixed boiled meats, but it also pairs perfectly with simpler dishes, like cured meats and fresh cheeses. Its pleasantness also makes it perfect for an informal aperitif or an evening with friends.
