100% Dolcetto d’Alba is a vibrant and soulful expression of this often-underappreciated Piedmontese variety. In the glass, it shows a deep ruby hue with purple highlights, and on the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of black cherries, crushed violets, and a hint of bitter almond. The palate is fresh and medium-bodied, with juicy dark berry fruit, subtle earthiness, and a touch of spice. True to Dolcetto’s style, the tannins are soft yet present, and the wine finishes with a gentle acidity that keeps it lively and food-friendly. This Dolcetto shines alongside rustic northern Italian fare—think tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms, grilled sausages with polenta, or eggplant parmigiana. Its balance of fruit and structure also makes it a great choice with a weeknight pizza or a charcuterie board featuring aged salumi and firm cheeses like Castelmagno or Pecorino. Serve slightly cool to highlight its brightness and charm.
