Dolcetto is a well-known wine grape variety widely grown in Piedmont region of Italy.


Dolcetto is usually made into fast maturing, fruity and robust dark red wine with faintly bitter flavor. May be identical with the Douce Noir grape of the Savoie region of France and the variety known as Charbono in California.


The best known varietal wine made from it is Dolcetto d'Alba made in the Alba region.

Dolcetto (303 words)
Origin: Dolcetto roughly translates from Italian as the "little sweet one." It is the principal grape grown in the Piedmont region of Italy and is considered the lunchtime or everyday wine of Northern Italy.
Dolcetto is typically not blended with other varieties, but rather boasts multiple clones that are often inter-planted, thereby imparting complexity to the wine's aroma, flavor and structure.
Dolcetto can develop further with a year or two of cellaring but it is best drunk immediately as is the case with Beaujolais Nouveau from Burgundy.

Dolcetto is a delicious dry red wine that is very popular in the Piedmont area of Italy, but it is still rare in California.
To preserve and enhance Dolcetto’s full-bodied varietal character and to maximize color and flavor, we fermented the grapes in small open-top fermenters, with Brunello yeast and frequent gentle punch-downs.
