Our first taste of a #Dolcetto wine and boy, what a #wine! I let it rest for 30 minutes before tasting it and opened up beautifully. I detected black pepper, violet and blueberries. Medium body, can't detect much alcohol. You can tell it's a #PiedmontWine but it's very different from anything else I tried. Loved it! #italianwine #winetasting #winelover #winegeek

About to open this. With jerk-spiced #lamb loin chops and baby bok choy with sour cherries. Could work; fingers crossed. #wine #Dolcetto #birds

#PizzaFriday
Little Neck Clams, Pancetta, Golden Potatoes, Olive Oil, Garlic, Scallion & Chopped Manchego Cheese Pizza.
Arugula Salad Pizza with Prosciutto, Chopped Tomatoes & Fresh Mozzarella.

Wine pairing is a #dolcetto from one of my favorite #Piedmontese producers offering blackberry, red plum, anise, underbrush & crushed stone minerality.
😋😋😋

Haven't tasted the Idlewild #Dolcetto (Mendocino) yet, but the Flora & Fauna blend is usually good.

@micchega So there are tons of pleasant, good value Dolcettos. One blew me away once. Don't remember the vintage, but it was Marziano Abbona Papa Celso #Dolcetto di Dogliani. #wine

@thad_ccws @dlupham I did read that #Xinomavro can be made to resemble #Nebbiolo and that got me hooked since #Barolo is one of my favourite. I was already considering #Piemonte since a good selection of their wines can be found here in the UK. I think I found my next #wineregion. Never tried #Barbaresco nor #Dolcetto so we need to rectify this #winetasting #wine

@AlexGBardsley @dlupham I come from #Liguria the nearby region of #Piemonte and yet I have tried only #Barolo and #Gavi, really love those two. I'm really curious to try #barbaresco and #dolcetto, among others. I would also like to explore #germany at some point as a #winecountry, it's not one people usually talk about and I like not mainstream choices #winelover #winegeek #winetasting
