Dolcetto
Filter
Dolcetto in Italian, translates to “little sweet one”, and is a red wine grape from the Northwest region of Italy. Unlike its name, Dolcetto does not produce sweet wines, but the name rather reflects the low acid nature of the grape. Doletto is a dark skinned grape that is fairly simple to grow and ripens early. While the Dolcetto grape is common in the Italian Monferrato hills and the Piedmont region, it has grown in popularity in Australia and the United States. In Piedmont, Dolcetto is known as Ormeasco, and thus used in the production of Ormeasco di Pornassio. Nebbiolo and Barbera are first and foremost in Piedmont, followed up by the use of Dolcetto. It is typically grown in cooler climates, which helps retain acidity, and in high elevation. Dolcetto will produce a very fruit-forward wine with rich red or purple colors. The palate will be spicy and earthy with flavors of almond or walnut. They have relatively low acidity, and soft tannins, however it can leave you wanting more in terms of aroma. Dolcetto is very easily consumed young and fresh, which gives an advantage over the more popular Nebbiolo grape. Dolcetto can be cellared for up to four years.
