Dolcetto d'Acqui "Il Commensale," Paolo Pizzorni - 2021

Item # 27561 750 mL

Ruby in the glass, this soft, violet Dolcetto pleases with small plums and a vinous, ripe bouquet. A bitter almond finish makes this more complex and food-friendly. Serve with pizza and sausages any night of the week. The terroir for this wine is interesting--mostly calcareous layered with clay, rendering a wine that's more acid-driven with a zippy, fresh finish.

Piedmont

The most famous grape in Piedmont is the noble Nebbiolo, which makes the long-lived Barolo and Barbaresco. There are plenty of Nebbiolo-based wines that are quite enjoyable in their youth, however, often produced in smaller, lesser-known regions such as Ghemme or Gattinara. Several other Piedmontese grapes make striking and delicious wines: Pelaverga produces light-colored reds with distinctive notes of strawberry, cherry, and pink peppercorn.

Dolcetto

A red grape variety grown in Piedmont and nearly nowhere else. Dolcetto-based wines are not sweet, as many people might surmise on hearing the name; the Piedmontese declared it "dolce" only because it is lower in acid than the wines they're used to. Dolcettos are usually meant to be enjoyed young. Some of the best ones come from the area around the town of Alba.
