Piedmont, Italy — 100% Dolcetto
The nose is immediate and inviting: ripe red plum, wild cherry, blueberry, and fresh violets with a gentle undercurrent of licorice and warm spice. The palate is soft and juicy with velvety tannins, lively acidity, a pleasantly bitter almond note that carries through to the clean, energetic finish. Drink it slightly chilled for full effect. Food-friendly and effortlessly enjoyable with tomato-based pastas, pizza, grilled white meats, charcuterie, aged cheeses, or a simple bowl of tajarin with butter and sage.
The Grasso family has farmed their Lodoli vineyard for four generations, planted in 1961 on calcareous clay soils near Treiso.
