Grape

Dolcetto

Origin
One of the lesser-know grapes of Piedmont, Dolcetto usually produces soft, fruity and early maturing wines. The best come from around Alba, as does this one from De Forville, a family that has been making wine in Piedmont since the 1860's.
Taste
A clear and bright ruby in colour, with an expressive nose of youthful fruits. Rich, dark cherries and liquorice on the palate and a fresh finish.
Enjoy
Enjoy with cold cuts or cured meats, pizza, or on its own.

    awful - how did majestic's buyers let this one through?

    Tasted Dec 2012. Perhaps I had a bad bottle? Strong apple flavour - but not in a good way and certainly nothing you expect from Dolcetto grape (which I love - it's a beautiful soft red from piedmont - if made properly). Perhaps some kind of mallo-lactic fermation problem. No way I'd buy this again, especially at the price..

    Unpleasant

    One to avoid, very acid. Struggled to drink a glass on consecutive evenings. Very expensive for what I'd rate as cooking wine only.
