Another exciting wine from the Fairweather brothers, Dylan and Justin, and their winemaker Sam Berketa, who are about 80% towards their aim of having a wine for each letter of the alphabet. D is for Dolcetto, and is dedicated to Piedmont legend Bartolo Mascarello and his traditional, hands-off approach to winemaking. Fruit is from 20 year old vines, matured in neutral oak so the fresh red cherry fruit shines through. Juicy, lightly spiced and dangerously quaffable.
