Dolcetto 2019

$41.00
Award-Winner

Dolcetto meaning "little sweet one" in Italian, presents itself as a medium-bodied wine with floral aromatics and silky-smooth mouthfeel. Originating in the hills of Piedmont, Italy, found a home in the sandy red soils of the Texas High Plains right on Jet Wilmeth's Diamante Doble Vineyards in Tokio, TX.

As this varietal is always seeking warm climates, this wonderful grape is completely suitable for the Texas High Plains. As it reaches us for production, we take great care to ensure the best expression of the fruit comes forward. Aging in a blend of French and American oak barrels, more neutral than new, allow fruit and tannins to meld. Upon opening, we’re greeted with mellow floral characteristics along with beautiful baking spice aromas, later opening to reveal bright red fruits, and herbal tea.

Great vineyards - the best wines we tasted in Texas! I wouldn't think you could say these were from Texas in a blind tasting. Really good oaky whites and reds!

Daniel F.

Becker’s is one of the top three wineries in Texas. Premium excellent Texas wines at a fair price. Events at the winery near Fredericksburg are not to be missed!

Love visiting Becker. This is TEXAS wine! Even if they hadn't been served multiple times at the White House or won multiple double gold medals at the San Francisco International wine competition, I would still enjoy the wine because it is fabulous!
