Community Tasting Notes (average 78 pts. and median of 78 pts. in 1 note) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Niels Z on 3/20/2022 & rated 78 points: Making pizzas outside with some friends. Thought I'd bring along an easy drinking Dolcetto to go along with the pure Italian food. A Dolcetto from one of my favourite winemakers in Piedmont in fact! Certainly a good pairing which was confirmed by my friends several times.

An elegant, fruity and straightforward wine, showing of pure red fruit flavours, cherry, strawberry. Aged for 50% on Slavonian oak but hardly noticeable. Low tannic levels overall. (301 views)

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)

Alba

Consorzio di Tutela Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe e Roero

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.
