The Pecchenino Dolcetto di Dogliani San Luigi is his flagship bottling that James Suckling calls ‘one of the best Dolcettos around.’ More structure and volume, but a sleek, slippery texture, this simply takes the genre up a couple of notches. 90 point Wine Spectator: "Black cherry, boysenberry and violet candy flavors mark this pretty, juicy red. Shows excellent purity and intensity, with the emphasis on the fruit. Drink now.." James Suckling: "A wine with a balance of spices and dark fruits with firm yet polished tannins. Muscular but agile. One of the best Dolcettos around."

Blue and black fruits. Tightly wound; showing signs this will be a 20 year-plus wine. Persistent, but fine tannins. Fantastic. #dogliani #pecchenino #dolcetto

This very nice, low alcohol Dolceto went very well with our Gorgonzola ravioli. Plenty of black fruit, good acidity and grip, no heat!

Pencil lead, austere. Subdued plum fruit. Better with food.

3.3. Loved this Italian red fro solvents grapes. Ruby red, with nice fruits and acidity. Slightly almond aftertaste was nice. On sale for $16.99, regularly $18.99.

Nice for sipping. Fruit forward, high acidity with flavors of tart bing cherry and medium tannins. Overall pretty good. Might get better with another year or 2 in the bottle

Austere, with tones of pencil, dark berry, cherry, almond. Light bodied. Drinking alone, but this would be excellent with red sauce pasta and pizza. Not exactly quaffable, as the acidity is a bit bracing. But the fruit is prominent. Drinking this slow. A note: this acidity mellows out after breathing for an hour.
