Region:Piedmont
Dolcetto, the 'little sweet one', grows natively up in Piedmont, often alongside the noble Nebbiolo for producers of Barolo, Barbaresco, or both. Unlike Nebbiolo, Dolcetto doesn't need ageing as its tannins and acidity are soft and balanced in youth, making it an ideal supplement for these producers whose other wines are held for years before release. It's stylistically a lovely point of difference too, with its attractive floral aromas and full but silky mouthfeel.

Roberto Sarotto
Sarotto has been a family-owned winery since way back in the 1700s. Having passed through numerous generations and been specialists in various export markets, it's Roberto Sarotto now that runs the estate and has fine-tuned its production to modern, precise and expressive wines with regional and varietal identity.
"Great with salami and parma ham, as well as rich broth and pasta dishes with dark meat." - Roberto Sarotto, Winemaker.
