Dolcettos are a good value for those who love Italian wines. They're the gentler, softer cousins to Piedmont's better-known (at least in Canada) and pricier Barberas and Barolos. Just like Barolo and Barbera, though, Dolcetto makes great food wines. Luigi Einaudi is the producer behind this label; he has a solid international reputation for high-quality, easy-to-drink red wines.
750 mlProducer Tasting Note
"A traditional wine, easy to drink, which comes from a blend of Dolcetto grapes that come from the Village of Dogliani, where it obtains his maximal tipicity, of a ruby red colour, which tends toward violet with a rich fruity bouquet, full bodied with an intense aroma of undergrowth and a pleasantly tannic taste, with a slight final almond note."
