Robert Parker
Dolcetto, originally from Piedmont, is a "soft" grape variety in terms of tannins. Grown on the Manzone estate's privileged terroir, it produces a red wine of fruit and finesse. With its complex, fresh palate and notes of red fruit and undergrowth, it is a reflection of its terroir, a wine full of personality and spontaneity. An exceptional Dolcetto!

About the wine:
Dolcetto d'Alba Le Ciliegie 2017 is a soft, mellow red wine that has absorbed much of the heat and sweetness of the vintage. The wine has a dark inky color followed by black cherry, blackberry jam and sweet raspberry. Pair this wine with a pizza with spicy sausages or pepperoni and peppers. Some 8,000 bottles were produced.
