APRIL  Final Entry of this year's Limited edition

Italian dolcetto d'Alba

The region:

Piedmont is the most outstanding and distinctive wine region in Italy. Situated in the northwest corner of Italy, next to Switzerland and France, distinctive chalky soils show the best growing areas on the hillside running down from the Alps. The climate produces enough summer heat to ripen Italy's most delightful grape, Dolcetto.

The wine:

Our Dolcetto has black cherry and liquorice flavours with some prunes and a characteristic hint of bitter almond. the dense, inky purple hue belies its easy drinking character, smooth tannins and completely dry finish. It has been called 'the Italian Beaujolais Nouveau' and is often served chilled.

The food:

Dolcetto is a light and easy to drink wine that pairs wonderfully with dishes like pasta, pizza, grilled Portobello mushrooms and goes particularly well with a tomato and mozzarella salad.
