Why to buy: This Dolcetto d'Alba is an excellent-quality table wine that gives a glimpse of the winemaking traditions in this historic region. For under $25, you'll get intense berry fruits and beautifully balanced tannins – a flavor profile mirroring its pricier siblings, Barolo and Barbaresco, but at a bargain.
Nose, palate and pairing: Brimming with aromas of lavender and violets, and flavors of wild red berries, juicy cherries, and hints of almond, we love this wine with classics of the region: antipasti, fresh pasta and roasted lamb.
The backstory: The green, misty hills of the Langhe region of Piedmont undulate in waves as far as the eye can see. Dotted with castles and vineyards, it looks like one of those far away fairytale lands. The Ada Nada family fell in love with this landscape in 1919, and have been producing wines evocative of the region ever since.

Giancarlo Nada acquired his first parcel of vineyard land in 1919 in the Rombone Region of Piedmont. His passion for winegrowing has since been passed down through several generations, with the current proprietors Annalisa and her husband Elvio, managing the four acres of vineyards.

We Love This With
Of the three dominant red wines of Piedmont, the Dolcetto varietal is the lightest and most approachable. Dolcetto is a perfect week night companion: She loves a steaming bowl of al dente pasta slick with garlicky, homemade tomato sauce, croutons of pancetta strewn throughout and a little freshly grated parm on top. Snuggle up with your pup and you have a perfect evening, the three of you.
