Tre Donne, Dolcetto d’Alba D.O.C.
(dohl-CHAY-toh DAHL-bahh)

 

Tasting Notes: Still largely unknown in the States, Dolcetto is the most popular wine in Italia’s most acclaimed wine region, Piemonte. Why? It is near-perfect with food, from seafood to game to red meat, and one glass tends to lead to another. Made by the middle sister, Rosanna, this wine is medium-bodied and gently assertive, with fine tannins, and a bouquet of wild berries, rhubarb, tobacco smoke, and spices.
