Cascina Delle Rose, Dolcetto

.A textbook example of Dolcetto from one of Piedmont’s most historic and consistent Barbaresco estates. This is an unbelievable amount of wine for the money!

Dolcetto has long been compared to Cru Beaujolais in terms of its scale and flavor profile, and with consumers embracing Beaujolais like never before, maybe it’s time for Dolcetto’s turn in the sun. It has always been the “pet” variety of Barolo/Barbaresco producers, including some of the biggest names in the game: If you want to drink exceedingly well without paying up for a Barolo, check out the Dolcettos from legends like Bartolo Mascarello, Cavallotto, or Luciano Sandrone—not to mention Barbaresco’s Cascina Delle Rose, a perennial SommSelect favorite!

Deep ruby, with aromas of black plum, blackberry, blueberry, violet, licorice, dark chocolate, and crushed stones. It is ripe, fragrant, and dry, finishing with the iron-rich minerality of a fuller-bodied Cru Beaujolais. All the wine you need for a grilled steak or burger!

Italy

Northwestern Italy

Piedmont

Italy’s Piedmont region is really a wine “nation”unto itself, producing world-class renditions of every type of wine imaginable: red, white, sparkling, sweet...you name it! However, many wine lovers fixate on the region’s most famous appellations—Barolo and Barbaresco—and the inimitable native red that powers these wines:Nebbiolo.

Tuscany

Chianti

The area known as “Chianti” covers a major chunk of Central Tuscany, from Pisa to Florence to Siena to Arezzo—and beyond. Any wine with “Chianti” in its name is going to contain somewhere between 70% to 100% Sangiovese, and there are eight geographically specific sub-regions under the broader Chianti umbrella.
