L’Ardi Dolcetto d’Acqui

eptember at A TO Z Fine Wine and More will feature a TASTE OF ITALY!

One of the wines that will be featured is L’ARDI DOLCETTO D’ACQUI. Dolcetto is a grape that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. It’s often pushed aside by the dominant grape of the Piedmont region of Italy, Nebbiolo.

Most Nebbiolos require many years of aging, but the Dolcetto grape is accessible early, is lighter bodied, and great with food. This Dolcetto is beautifully balanced, lightly tannic and tart with ripe red fruit flavors, and a long finish. This wine makes a nice accompaniment to a range of foods from pasta dishes to grilled seafood and meats. Cheers!
