Monferrato Dolcetto is a typical Piedmontese wine with delicate notes of nuts and spices that are delicate on the palate. It is a classic table wine, fabulous for accompanying lunch or dinner from the beginning of the meal to the end.

The Dolcetto, which is a red wine of moderate alcohol content and light structure, is a vineyard whose origins are uncertain. The name perhaps derives either from the flavor of the grapes, or even from the word “dosso”, because it prefers to be cultivated in hilly areas. The dolcetto has always been grown in the Piedmont region, and it is still considered one of the most common varieties of grape throughout the region.

Dolcetto grapes produce wines with limited acidity, that are balanced in tannins and color. They are ready to be drunk right away, but they are also suitable for moderate aging.
