Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Grilled lamb and fresh fig kebabs
  • Sweet and sticky balsamic glazed chicken wings
  • Sliced flank steak with oven roasted sweet potato fries

Dark and brooding, this sleek Dolcetto is very "old school" in style and has an alluring bouquet of sweet prunes, dried black mission figs, and anise. More black mission fig, deep black plum, leather, and tar dominate the earthy palate in this standout bottling from Piemonte.
