| 75 | | | 92 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Few red grape types yield more generally useful wines than does Dolcetto, a grape type grown primarily in Italy’s Piedmont region (northwest). This supple medium-bodied dry red wine sees no oak, and minimal handling all around allows its beautiful ruby-tinged purple color to set the stage for ample blueberry and red fruit aromas. Aged in stainless steel, the wine showcases a tasty palate of juicy fruits with no oak interference. Tannins are a study in silk, and the delicious, long finish provides worthy payoff. Alcohol is moderate: 13.5%. Serve this at cool room temperatures, 65°F/17°C, in tall tulip-shaped glasses for red wine. Foods: Appetizers of aged Parmesan cheese cubes drizzled with olive oil; grilled eggplant; cured meats and salamis; meat-stuffed mushrooms; lamb lollipops. Main dishes: pasta with substantial meat sauces, such as papardelle with oxtail meat or braised beef cheek meat; or with tiny lamb meatballs and reduced lamb stock; grilled veal chop; veal scaloppini with tomato and wild mushrooms; aged firm cheeses; very dark chocolate.
