Marchesi Di Gresy Dolcetto 2006 "Monte Aribaldo"

At a recent wine tasting, the clear winner of the night for me was this Dolcetto or “the little sweet one” in Italian.  (Although it is  neither sweet nor little at 14% alcohol).  The Di Gresy family estate has been vinifying their own wine since 1973 using state of the art techology while respecting classic traditions. Expect dried cherry and plush cranberry fruit, subtle notes of oak, earth, and brick with a smooth light tannic finish.  Lower in acid than Barbera or Sangiovese grapes, Dolcettos  such as this give you  a soft but impressive and balanced mouthfeel.   $21.99 

Check out our other offerings from this outstanding Piedmont estate- the more intense Nebbiolo “Martinenga” 2007  $26.99 and the refreshing, slightly sweet fizzante Moscato D’Asti  “La Serra”  2007  $17.99
