Tasting Notes
Dolcetto from Dave Fletcher's estate in Barbaresco. The Dolcetto is absolutely delightful. Suave red and blue fruits abound with tones of chocolate. It fills the palate, coating every taste bud and seducing you towards your next sip. This is moreish stuff and exactly what I want from my Dolcetto. Bravo! - Chris L
Dave Fletcher is the under-the-radar Aussie winemaker, producing some of our favourite Nebbiolos from Australia and Piedmont. Not a bad achievement! Dave's love for Nebbiolo pushed him to seek a harvest gig at Ceretto, one of the top producers in the Barolo region of Piedmont. Years of hard work in the cellar paid off and now Dave is in charge of all red wine production at this famed estate, as well as creating his very own eponymous label.
His wines range from beautifully gentle, contemplative expressions of Nebbiolo, to more modern, vibrant wines such as his Barbera, made in a similar style to the wines of Beaujolais. He even makes a skin contact blend of Arneis and Moscato - a style rarely seen in the region.
We get modest amounts of his wines each year and have recently received his latest Italian Nebbiolo offering.
