Dolcetto di Dogliani
In a district favored by the famous economist and Italian president of the fifties, Luigi Einaudi, the Dolcetto di Dogliani is pressed. It differs from similar wines only by certain nuances that can be recognized only by experts of Piedmontese wines. It has good body and harmony, it is delicate and pleasant and it is an excellent accompaniment to an exquisite meal, especially to the typical dishes of the old traditional cuisine of Piedmont.
Dolcetto di Ovada
The long list of Dolcetti is concluded by Dolcetto di Ovada, produced in the Alessandria area in eastern Piedmont, bordering Liguria. Here too we have a dry red, with almond flavor nuance; preferred with light and dark meats. After longer aging also accompanies game dishes.
Dolceto delle Langhe Monreagalesi
Dolcetto delle Langhe Monreagalesi is similar to Dolcetto delle Langhe Monreagalesi from the Alba area, whose vineyards extend over a characteristic zone of the province of Cuneo called 'Langhe'. The origin of the name 'Langhe' is controversial: it could mean both headland and fallow land, or even land of the Ligurians. Specifically, it is the set of peaked hills and deep parallel valleys deeply excavated by torrents.
Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba

Dolcetto - Primadonna in the vineyard
"The name has already confused make uninformed wine lover. Dolcetto is not a sweet or even sweet wine - as the word Dolce might suggest. Rather, the wine is dry, fruity and finely bitter, of deep dark ruby color with violet reflections. And yet the adjective dolce points in the right direction: the Dolcetto berries are sugary sweet, they are - better than the other grape varieties - well suited to food. As tasty as the grapes are and as uncomplicated as access to this wine is, it is difficult to press a flawless wine from the grapes" - Horst Dohm, Message in a Bottle from Piemonte
