Planted at Wirrega Vineyard in Mundulla in 2003 - this is a bittersweet story about the joy of the finished product, & why Wangolina didn't do it sooner!? After so much fanfare for their inaugural 2023 release, it is with much anticipation that they welcome the 2024.

Hailing from Piedmont in North West Italy, specifically from the village of Dogliani, a few miles south of the areas most revered wine village of Barolo. Dolcetto (meaning - little sweet one) is anything but sweet, unlike some famously marketable Australian wines which might suggest otherwise. Designed to be enjoyed young & fresh, due to the lower acid & tannin level beside Nebbiolo which demands ageing.

A striking & vivacious colour of deep ruby, with a nose that is lifted & energetic. Notes of maraschino cherry, black plum, bitter almond & a hint of spearmint draw you into a medium bodied palate of immense satisfaction. A blanketing coat of fresh, fleshy summer berry & red stonefruit quickly dissipates into a gentle linger of bitter almond, cherry pip & spearmint, thanks to Dolcetto's signature fine, drying, dusty tannins.

Serve with a slight chill. Pairing beside hard rustic foods such as pizza, pasta, cheeses & cured meats is not necessary, but strongly recommended.
