Robert Parker

Dolcetto, originally from Piedmont, is a "soft" grape variety in terms of tannins. Grown on the privileged terroir of the Manzone estate, it produces a red wine that is fruity and refined. With a complex palate that is fresh with notes of red fruit and undergrowth, it reflects its terroir, a wine full of personality and spontaneity. An exceptional Dolcetto!

Rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About wine:

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

About the estate:

Manzone Giovanni continues to produce some of the region's most unique Barolos.

Very pleasant and representative of its grape variety: you can really taste the cherries on the palate.
