Base nose is cherry with licorice overtones and a stony note. High acid. Cherry predominant on palate. Very serious for Dolcetto.

The Italian answer to Beaujolais, not much nose, light and fruit forward, soft with fine tannins finishing grippy. Extremely pleasant and would work really well with white bean dish such as cassoulet or ribollita.

Got a $30 for $10 because people in Kentucky forgot to price. Fruity with a hint of spice

Quite light bodied, standing up well to our Italian Sausage Risotto. Light enough that it probably doesn't even need food!
