| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.1 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 20 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Bob H on 11/19/2017: Still almost opaque purple at the core, lightening out to tranlucence on the rim.
Nicely fruity on the palate, good acidity - very pleasant. (1498 views) | | | Tasted by ABOVETHEINFLUENCE on 9/6/2016: hard edge on opening, after 6 hrs, finally showing, on the nose licorice,tart blackbarry palate, a dark elegant wine meant for the near term (2397 views) | | | Tasted by Rich S on 7/26/2016 & rated 90 points: Consistent with previous bottles. If you enjoy drinking dolcetto, you will dig this wine. (2644 views) | | | Tasted by Bill Bucklew on 12/3/2015 & rated 88 points: The nose is somewhat muted and has a slight dank dark fruit note with a prominent cedar note. The palate is much more expressive and bright, blackberry and red cherry, there's definitely an oak component here, but it's better integrated on the palate. (3431 views) | | | Tasted by andrewdodd86 on 11/8/2015 & rated 92 points: Nice cherry w/touch of darker fruit. Floral and spice. Well rounded. Excellent (3129 views) | | | Tasted by Pknut on 10/11/2015: Enjoyed this for its uncomplicated fruit, purity and that it was rather lean. Cherry fruit to more dark fruit tones and that slightly bitter undercurrent that makes it Dolcetto. No discernible oak. Was expecting a wine that was fatter and riper, but thankfully, it wasn't. Edgemont guys, my place. (2470 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 10/8/2015: THat is smokey, wood oriented dolcetto. That is weird. Maybe an off bottle? (1597 views) | | | Tasted by Rich S on 9/17/2015 & rated 90 points: Popped and poured. Bright, light purple with good clarity. Very fresh and lively on the nose with aromas of lilac, red cherry, perfume, and baking spice. Similar flavors on the palate with a juicy, bright red fruit flavor profile. Light to medium body with good acidity and a pleasant finish. (1343 views) | | | Tasted by montepulciano man on 9/10/2015: My notes are consistent with others - young and fresh, lot of bitter on the finish. On second day wine transformed - everything was much more in balance. would suggest an aggressive decant right now (946 views) | | | Tasted by andrewdodd86 on 8/3/2015 & rated 92 points: More aromatic. Lighter. Elegant. Little tannin and acid. Spicy. Love it. Primary fruit. Shocked this was the dulcetto (served blind). Amazing QPR. Fresh cut flowers on the nose. (950 views) | | | Tasted by rustyRudy on 8/3/2015 & rated 93 points: Vietti tasting at the beach. Tasted blind and then non blind over two nights.
This was drinking great.
Deep red color, plentiful red fruit, balanced, went great with Lasagne.
Competed well in a more expensive flight (1142 views) | | | Tasted by Bob H on 7/15/2015: Similar in color to the Vietti Barbera I just opened; fairly neutral nose.
Prominent acidity that seems to be masking the fruit right now; bitter finishing note that I often get with Dolcetto. Okay, but fairly innocuous right now. (1063 views) | | | Tasted by Rich S on 7/11/2015 & rated 90 points: Consistent with previous bottle although a bit less expressive on the nose. (918 views) | | | Tasted by the godfather on 4/26/2015: A decent quaffer (1014 views) | | | Tasted by Rich S on 4/6/2015 & rated 91 points: Popped and poured. Bright color. Great nose of purple florals, juicy raspberry and cherry, a bit of cinnamon and some sweet flowery perfume. Similar flavors on the palate with juicy acidity, light to medium body and a really smooth mouthfeel and finish. This wine was a delight to drink and just very fresh and lively. Will be rebuying. (945 views) | | | Tasted by gfish on 2/26/2015 & rated 89 points: Fresh young juicy Dolcetto that is correct for what it should be. (1148 views) |

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)Dolcetto Varietal character (Appellation America)
Dolcetto, a northern Italian varietal from the Piedmont region, is a lighter bodied red. This wine is fruity and means 'little sweet one' in Italian. Some will opt to put a slight chill on it. Perfect with Mediterrean cuisine such as grilled meats and vegetables. Enjoy as a summertime delight. from (Woodward Canyon website)Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorPiedmont Vignaioli Piemontesi (Italian only)

Alba is a town and comune of Piedmont, Italy, in the province of Cuneo. It is considered the capital of the hilly area of Langhe, and is famous for the white truffle, peach and wine production. Piedmont is in the Northwestern region of Italy, bordering France and Switzerland. Piedmont is predominantly a plain where the water flows from the Swiss and French Alps to form the headwaters of the Po river. The major wine producing areas are in the southern portion of the region in the hills known as the "Langhe". Here the people speak a dialect that is 1/3 French and 2/3 Italian that portrays their historical roots. Their cuisine is one of the most creative and interesting in Italy. Nebbiolo is the King grape here, producing Barolo and Barbaresco. In addition, the Barbera and Dolcetto are the workhorse grapes that produce the largest quantity of wine. Piedmont is predominantly a red wine producing area. There are a few whites made in Piedmont, and the Moscato grape produces a large volume of sweet, semi-sweet and sparkling wines as well. |
