Variety:  Dolcetto
Region:
Piedmont

Country: Italy

2009

 $7.95


Winery Review:  Cherry and plum aromas fill the nose with jammy overtones.  It is firm with almond flavors on the finish.  Dolcetto is the everyday wine of the Piemontese, it pairs well with a wide variety of dishes from tomato-based pasta dishes and white meats, to minestrone and antipasto platters.Vintage Wine Cellar 02/23/2013

My Review:  Very dark wine that come in strong with aromas of dark berries.  I was able to pick out hints of cherry and plum in the in it as well.  Unexpectedly the wine was not sweet on the tongue, but its strong, dark aromas made it so.  Unfortunately I was not a fan of this wine.
 
Food: I did not try this wine with food.
