Description
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!
