Dolcetto: the Piedmont red with immediate drinkability
The Dolcetto collection gathers a selection of Piedmontese red wines that are among the most recognizable for freshness, aromatic depth, and pleasantness of drinking. It is an ideal category for those seeking authentic, territorial, and versatile labels that can directly tell the story of Piedmont through different interpretations of the same grape variety.
In this selection, you will find bottles from historic areas such as Dogliani, Alba, and Ovada, with styles ranging from the more traditional versions to those with a more artisanal and natural imprint. Dolcetto generally expresses a fruity, dry, and harmonious profile, with tannins present but never overwhelming, a quality that makes it suitable for both everyday consumption and more refined tables.
An identity grape of Piedmont
Dolcetto is one of the great native grape varieties of Piedmont, and in its best expressions, it shows a clear character: black cherry, plum, floral notes, and a pleasantly almond-like finish. The denominations present in this collection enhance different nuances of the same grape variety, offering an interesting tasting journey for those who wish to understand the richness of the territory.
Among the selected labels are producers like Abbona Marziano Azienda Agricola, Cascina Borgatta, Cascina degli Ulivi - Ilaria Bellotti, Cà del Baio, and Pio Cesare, names that interpret Dolcetto with different sensitivities but always with a strong connection to the territory.
The denominations in the selection
The collection includes wines such as Dolcetto d’Alba, Dolcetto d’Ovada, and Dogliani DOCG, denominations that represent some of the most significant areas for this grape variety. Dogliani is often associated with a particularly typical and territorial interpretation of Dolcetto, while Alba and Ovada offer equally interesting interpretations, with profiles that can vary in structure, intensity, and finesse.
This variety makes the page useful both for those who already know the grape variety and for those who want to explore it through different producers and selected vintages, such as Dolcetto d’Alba 2019, Dolcetto d’Alba 2021, or Dolcetto d’Ovada 2020, without straying from a coherent and recognizable taste profile.
When to choose a Dolcetto
Dolcetto is a wine that lends itself very well to moments of conviviality and everyday cooking, thanks to its immediacy and ease of pairing. It is an ideal choice with Piedmontese appetizers, cured meats, flavorful first courses, white meats, and simple yet tasty preparations. In more structured versions, it can also accompany not overly elaborate red meat dishes.
