Fuso Barbera
This is made from Barbera vines grown in the Colli Tortonesi in Piemonte. It’s a natural, non-filtered, everyday kind of vino. If Parker Posey were a wine she’d be Fuso: indie, hip, quirky, democratic and approachable. Classic cranberry and raspberry notes with zippy lemon-acidity and soft tannins. Lots of deliciousness for a deal. Winemaking Details: Unfiltered, Unfined, Wild Yeast Fermentation
De Forville Dolcetto Loreto
Classic ripe Dolcetto fruit with delicate acidity, bright rasberry fruit and a teeny weeny bit of tannin. This is their "Cru" Dolcetto, and a resounding value for a wine of this quality.
Roagna Dolcetto
When Piemonte producers aren’t drinking Barolo, they’re sipping on this. Made from the Dolcetto of the region. Tradition is revered by this fourth generation family run property. Bright cherry fruit, light to medium bodied, gentle acidity and soft tannins. A well made Dolcetto at a great price.
