"Athena" Dolcetto

"Athena" Dolcetto Wine Details
Price: $19.50 per bottle

Description: Crafted entirely from Dolcetto grapes, a varietal native to northern Italy, our “Athena” Dolcetto is a fruity delight, an off-dry red bursting with notes of raspberry and cranberry. ”Athena” is a winery favorite, even of white wine aficionados. It pairs nicely with a variety of foods, varying from picnic fare to elegant entrees.

Varietal Definition
Dolcetto:
Italian red grape from the Piedmont area of the North West. Produces soft varietal wines for early drinking. Gives lots of up front fruit with soft tannins with a style not unlike the Gamay of Beaujolais.
