The 2022 Ca' del Baio Lodoli Dolcetto d'Alba is a vibrant and fruit-driven red from Piedmont in northern Italy. Made entirely from Dolcetto grown on calcareous clay soils, it shows fresh cherry, wild strawberry and blackberry alongside subtle floral and savoury notes.
On the palate, it is dry and medium-bodied, with juicy red and dark berry fruit balanced by fresh acidity and gentle tannins. Stainless-steel vinification preserves the purity and brightness of the fruit, while a characteristic almond note emerges on the finish. The result is fresh, balanced and approachable, with an appealing combination of fruit and savoury character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Dolcetto drinkers looking for a fresh and approachable Piedmont red with juicy fruit and gentle structure. Best enjoyed in its youthful, fruit-driven style. Ideal with Italian sausages, charcuterie, wood-fired pizza, tomato-based pasta, roast chicken, pork or semi-hard cheeses.
