Dolcetto translates to little sweet one and Dolcetto doesn't come much sweeter than this. Juicy plump black cherry fruit in savourish, mid weight and moreish package. Spaghetti Bol plus Burlott Dolcetto is almost the perfect night in.

Dolcetto is one of those wines Aussies don't often think about, which is a shame as they are the perfect wines for our climate, and they are beautifully fruity. This offering from Ceretto shows lots of dark fruits and purple florals all wrapped up...

As easy-drinking value wines go, you can’t go too wrong with this dolcetto shiraz blend from Brown Brothers. This is no 'try hard' wine, in fact the only thing it tries hard to do is be a good drink - which it is! The awesome bright purple colour ...

Dolcetto originates from the Piedmont region of Northwest Italy. It is believed that dolcetto meaning ‘little sweet one’ is not an indication of the sugar levels in the grape but is reference to the hills where it was cultivated. This elegant win...

Medium to deep purple/red colour. Blackberry to raspberry fruit aromas. Clean and light, bright fruit with drying tannins closing off the finish. Decent concentration and depth with pleasant, simple, pretty fruit flavours.

Medium to deep purple/red colour. Oaky and 'cork wood' aromas; some black fruit scents and flavours as well. Dry tannin finish that's soft and smooth. Very dry, somewhat hollow and emasculated. Suspect this is slightly corked.

You would never expect a 75% crop loss due to sunburn and heat at Daylesford, but that is what happened in the record-breaking week of searing temperatures of '09. Amazingly, the wine has great colour, and good mouthfeel to its black cherry fruit ...

Very light red, with spicy, savoury, earthy aromas and flavours, the acidity accentuated by early picking. A fresh, halfway house between rose and dry red - perhaps closer to the latter. Ready now.
