Sensory Description:

This wine pours a brilliant ruby with purple highlights and a soft effervescence. Aromas of ripe cherries, red berries, and violets rise from the glass, layered with a hint of candied fruit. On the palate, the gentle sparkle enhances flavors of fresh raspberry and sweet plum, balanced by a refreshing acidity that keeps the sweetness lively rather than heavy. The finish is smooth and delightfully refreshing, leaving a playful impression.

Winemaker's Background:

Dolce represents the pinnacle of late harvest winemaking in the United States. Founded in 1985 by the partners of Far Niente, it remains the only American winery dedicated exclusively to a single late harvest wine. Dolce’s painstaking craftsmanship, guided by the rarest of natural conditions, results in wines that balance sweetness and acidity with remarkable elegance. While Dolce’s flagship is a late harvest blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, Vigneto Dolce Sweet Red extends the estate’s spirit of craftsmanship into the sparkling red category, channeling Lombardy’s heritage of lightly sweet, effervescent wines.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve well-chilled at 8–10 °C to highlight its freshness. Ideal as an aperitif, it also pairs beautifully with charcuterie, soft cheeses, pizza, pasta with tomato sauces, fresh fruit, and even chocolate-based desserts. Its delicate sparkle makes it equally suited for festive occasions and casual gatherings alike.
