2019 Dolcetto
This Russian River Valley Dolcetto was aged for 20 months on American Oak (30% New) and has classic flavors of this famous Italian varietal from the Piedmont region. Despite the literal translation of its name to be little sweetie (like a small piece of candy); this wine is completely dry and has great acids and bright fruit flavors that make it an extraordinary versatile wine. It is great with a wide range of foods and is also wonderful to enjoy on its own. Remember to take the time to enjoy family and wine. Enjoy !!
