Dolcetto-Pinot Noir

Dolcetto-Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price:

Description: The 2001 Dolcetto-Pinot Noir is a blend of 83% estate-grown Dolcetto, a popular variety of Italy's Piedmont, and 17% estate-grown pinot noir (from the Cuvee lot). This is a medium-bodied wine, with crisper acidy than pinot noir, is versatile with a wide range of Italian meals: from a simple pasta dish (such as, pasta ribbons drizzled with garlic sautéed in extra-virgin olive oil topped with Parmesan cheese) to more elaborite specialties (such as hen braised in red wine). Dolcetto is a supple and dry red with fresh and lively flavors that is luscious when mature. The pinot noir in this blend, adds balance, depth, complexity, and length to the finish, without losing the Dolcetto character. This is a wine that can be enjoyed now or over the next 2 - 3 years.
