2015 Dolcetto Estate
Dolcetto is a variety you will typically see in the Piedmont region of Northern Italy, and our decision to plant it on our Eola-Amity Hills estate was a calculated risk. Our Dolcetto is planted on the rockiest and steepest spot on our vineyard, finding its home atop of fractured volcanic soil on a steeply pitched grade that gives the tractor driver white knuckles. Our site’s fierce location forces the vines to develop an equally intense character.

Vintage Notes
The 2015 vintage marked another extraordinary growing
season. Warm weather prevailed throughout the entire season,
resulting in concentrated and balanced fruit. We were able to
harvest our red grapes at the balance point of having full
flavors and bright acidity, all without fear of autumn rains.
