"Dolcetto takes on many appearances, but this one is a fresh and delicious tonic that opens with notes of elderberry and zesty citrus before the black tea and gentle tannin take over. Serve it alongside a risotto with meaty mushrooms or a grilled flank steak on a nice night for a dreamy alfresco feast!" - Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
"This a classic Dolcetto fresh, a perfect wine for evry day, easy to frink, fresh..." Massimo Benevelli, winemaker
