This week we are talking about the Dogliani DOCG and the Dolcetto grape.
Wine Recommendations:
Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2017 - priced $26.
This wine is from a blend of Dolcetto grapes from the vineyards of the Einaudi estates which surround Dogliani Aromas of red licorice and spice It’s dry with medium acidity and medium tannins with flavors of red fruits, earth and a bitter almond note on the finish The aromas of this wine are almost candy like and we love the mix of complex fruit, earth and spice flavors in this wine. This wine gave us Beaujolais vibes but still it’s own unique thing.Anna Maria Abbona Sorì dij But 2016 - $17.
This dark violet wine has aromas of dark cherries and blueberries and earth It’s dry with medium acidity and tannins with flavors of dark fruits, earth and that bitter note on the finish that Dolcetto is known for. This wine is deeper more intense and complex than the first wine we talked about Both of these wine do not see any oak which was a surprise to us Recommended food pairing: marinated grilled skirt steakSources:
