Dolcetto with no edges, this is a friendly and modern version of the grape that has some good acidity to keep it fresh. Perfect pizza and basic pasta wine.

Black and red cherries, prunes, licorice, and dirt. Simple, clean, cheap. Paired with burgers on the 4th.

Nice Dolcetto, but nothing mindboggling ( but if it were, it wouldn't be a very good example of Dolcetto, would it?) medium bodied, cranberry dust, short finish , lower alcohol. Perfect with pasta and sausage and rapini.

Licorice, tar, blackberries, cherry and a bit of almond on the nose. This is great! The palate is very lovely with some strong acid backbone, a nice tangy cherry all along, a good width with a lovely matter on the sides. It's not thick, it's rather light but very playful and fruity. Some tannins kick in in mid palate which give a bit of a drying effect in a mid palate sphere. It's quite round in there! The finish is all fruits, a bit of bitterness and thee tannins drying up a notch. Very lovely and joyful wine.
