Friday night is pizza night. (well its a leap year so its okay). The last red varietal from my recent purchase is a Dolcetto. I hate to continue using other's words to describe wines but once again, the wiki hits it right on the nose.Dolcetto is a black wine grape variety widely grown in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. The name means "little sweet one," though it is nearly always a dry wine. Dolcetto wines can be tannic and fruit driven with moderate levels of acidity. They are typically meant to be consumed one to two years after release.
That is precisely what we have here. Extremely dry with just the slightest hint of fruit. It is drinkable but it doesn't have much structure. Hey but its $8 so lets not complain.
