Alessandria Dolcetto Italie, 2021

Alessandria Dolcetto 2021 is a classic Italian red that celebrates the easy charm and freshness of Dolcetto. Sourced from Italy and made by Alessandria, it offers a straightforward, food-friendly style that has long made this grape a favorite in Piedmont’s wine tradition.

Tasting Notes
Typically deep ruby in color with violet reflections, Dolcetto is known for its inviting, youthful appearance. On the nose, expect dark cherry, plum, blackcurrant, and a hint of almond or bitter marzipan, with a light floral lift. On the palate, it is usually dry, medium-bodied, and softly textured, with ripe red and black fruit, moderate acidity, and gentle tannins that make it approachable in its youth. Dolcetto is generally best enjoyed young for its freshness and vibrant fruit, rather than long cellaring.

Production
Dolcetto thrives in the hills of northern Italy, where calcareous and clay-rich soils help preserve the grape’s natural character and balance. While specific vineyard details for this bottling are not provided, wines like this are commonly harvested at optimal ripeness and vinified with temperature-controlled fermentation to protect fruit purity and maintain freshness.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile red for everyday dining, pairing especially well with charcuterie, mushroom dishes, tomato-based pasta, grilled poultry, and roasted vegetables. Serve slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a brief aeration can help open the aromas if the wine is young.

Producer
Alessandria is a name associated with traditional Italian winemaking, particularly in styles that value authenticity, balance, and drinkability. While detailed background information is not provided here, the producer is connected to Italy’s long-standing culture of regional wines that pair naturally with food and everyday life.
