Winemaker Notes
Ruby red with violet highlights. Intense bouquet of ripe fruits with notes of currants, blackberries and black cherries. The flavor is balanced with smooth, sweet tannins and a persistent finish.
Pairs well with pastas, white meats, red meats, braises, fresh cheeses and medium aged cheeses.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Pecchenino 2019 Dogliani Superiore Sirì d'Jermu shows volume and depth, with all those bright fruit aromas that come naturally to this grape. In this case, they are rendered more elegant and sophisticated with spice, grilled herb and crushed flowers. The wine is richly concentrated and softly textured.

Wine Spectator
A tightly wound Dolcetto, highlighted by blackberry, blueberry and licorice flavors. Supple and harmonious, if dense and concentrated, with a long, fruit- and earth-tinged finish.
Attracting the most glory, prestige and fame to the Piedmont region, Nebbiolo in all of its expressions—Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero, Ghemme and Gattinara—creates a complex wine, truly unique for its delicate qualities combined with strength and a great potential to improve over time.
But Nebbiolo isn’t all there is to red wine from Piedmont! Barbera is the most planted variety and historically most popular as a dependable, food-friendly, everyday wine.
Beyond these two, a surprising number of red varieties call Piedmont their home. Worth a try include Dolcetto for its bold concentration and aromas of spice cake. Other grapes to investigate include Freisa, Croatina, Brachetto, Grignolino and Pelaverga.
