Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaDolcetto is Italian for the "little sweet one." The moment this juicy, dark-berry scented red hits your palate it pulls at your heart. It's fresh, earthy, black raspberry/cassis fruit finishes with a twist of kirsch in a bed of soft tannins. A classic from winemaker Dwight Sick in what is a fresh look at a quirky Italian grape that will have you running to a wine guide to investigate. A soft, red-fruited style, it is well-suited to charcuterie, mushroom & sausage pasta and or root vegetables. Harvested by hand over 4 separate dates due to desiccation.
