The 2023 Monterustico Dogliani Dolcetto is a vibrant and authentic expression of Dolcetto from the Dogliani zone in Piedmont, an area widely regarded as one of the variety's finest homes. Richly aromatic, it offers notes of blackberry, plum, black cherry and violets, complemented by subtle hints of spice and almond.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with juicy dark fruit flavours supported by soft tannins and refreshing acidity. The texture is smooth and approachable, while a gentle savoury character adds complexity through to a dry, fruit-driven finish.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic everyday Piedmont red that showcases the freshness and charm of Dolcetto. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years while its vibrant fruit remains at its peak. Pairs beautifully with pizza, pasta dishes, charcuterie, roast chicken, grilled sausages and antipasto.
