## Summary

Named after the Piemontese dialect meaning of Dolcetto, "sweet in its acidity" compared with Barbera, Dosso is the estate's everyday red, aged briefly in bottle rather than wood.

## Tasting notes

Deep ruby red, a fruity, vinous, delicious nose of small red fruit, and a soft, fine, medium-bodied palate with the pleasant flavour typical of Dolcetto.
