This is the last of our Limited Editions.  The Italian Piedmont Dolcetto has black cherry and licorice flavours with some prunes and a characteristic hint of bitter almond, a perception enhanced by the completely dry finish.  The dense, inky purple hue belies its easy drinking character and smooth tannins.

The Dolcetto is a light and easy to drink wine that pairs wonderfully with dishes like pasta, pizza, grilled Portobello mushrooms and is particularly splendid with a tomato and mozzarella salad.  Medium bodied, this wine is ‘lush’ rather than gripping or powerful, which enhances the reputation of Dolcetto for gulpability.  It’s often served lightly chilled in the manner of Beaujolais Nouveau 13-18C or 55-65F.  Served cool this way it shows crisper and more fruity than when warm and is excellent with lighter dishes, much like a rose.  Enjoy!

Rod, Maria and Katherine from Wine Central wish you a wonderful Easter.  We’ll be closed on Good Friday (April 10), Saturday (April 11) and Sunday.  We’ll be back in the store at 9:30 on Monday, April 13.
