Dolcetto 2022
A rare sight in the Okanagan, this unoaked, juicy red wine remains true to its Italian origins and will be sure to charm with its vibrant flavours of pomegranate and berries.

All good things must come to an end, for now anyhow. Yes, you heard right, 2022 Dolcetto will be disappearing for a while because of Mother Nature's shenanigans. What we have now is the last we will have for sale until next spring, at the earliest. Now is your chance to stock your cellar with this beauty.
We dedicate this song "Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds to Dolcetto. Until we meet again!
A Farewell....

Tasting Notes
We honour the traditional way of making Dolcetto without any oak influence in order to showcase its fresh and fruit driven flavour profile. The 2022 vintage of Dolcetto perfectly embodies its traditional Italian roots. This medium-bodied red wine has a pale purplish colour in the glass, bursting out of the glass with intense aromas of pomegranate, blood orange, sun-dried tomato, blueberry and a hint of milk chocolate on the nose. Flavours of rose petal, cranberry, cedar, and graphite intertwine with a soft tannin structure, all carried by a bright acidity that brings this wine to life. A light but rich texture, and an extremely long finish close the deal on this incredibly well-structured Dolcetto. This is a fantastic food wine, pairing well with your favourite charcuterie plate, Bolognese lasagna, Margherita pizza or eggplant Parmesan. Drinks very well now, and should be enjoyed before 2027 for best results.
