Dolcetto Wines

Dolcetto wine is a red wine that originated in the Piedmont region of Italy, with references to it dating back to the 16th century. The name "Dolcetto" translates to "little sweet one" in Italian, although the wine itself is not typically sweet. It is known for its vibrant purple color and medium-bodied nature.

In terms of taste profile, Dolcetto wine is characterized by its moderate tannins and high acidity. It often exhibits flavours of blackberry, cherry, and plum, with hints of licorice and spice. The wine is usually drunk young and fresh, as it does not have the aging potential of other red wines from the region.

While Dolcetto wine is primarily associated with Italy, it is also produced in other countries such as the United States, Argentina, and Australia. However, Italy remains the best-known country for Dolcetto production, particularly in the regions of Dogliani and Diano d'Alba.
