Dolcetto
Dolcetto is mostly from the area of Piedmont region of Italy. This black wine grape known as Dolcetto is translated as “little sweet one.” It has a unknown history filled with theories. One theory is that the grape originated from France around the 11th century from the Monferrato region. Other stories suggest the origins come from the Piedmontese village of Dogliani and was known under the names “Duzet” and “Duset.”
The Italian red wines that come from the Langhe region use the Dolcetto grape variety. In 1974 these wines gained a DOC rating. The rating was then replaced with a DOCG rating in 2005 and a requirement of aging for at least one year was mandated. Dolcettos have flavors of black cherry and licorice. While the translation of the name refers to sweetness, it’s actually a dry wine, and is very tannic and dark colored. This light bodied red wine pairs well with pizza and pasta.

Made from 100% Dolcetto grapes, L'Ard'i has an intense ruby red hue that gives way to aromas of fresh fruit including cherries and blackberries. Although Dolcetto is a sweet grape and is often eaten at the table, the wine it produces is quite dry with a clean finish. L'Ardi is best enjoyed young, within 1 or 2 years of the vintage, when the fruit is bold and ripe. When served slightly chilled, L'Ardi is perfect for outdoor barbeques and pairs well with such grilled favorites as chicken with herbs, swordfish and marinated shrimp.
