Dolcetto di Dogliani

This wine is the odd one out, in that I neither tasted it at a wine fair not did I buy it for one of those curious grapes dinner - someone brought it to dinner. It was a house wine of one of the Cova Cafes and the friend liked it, so he bought some and took a bottle to dinner. Dolcetto is often a rather overlooked grape in Piedmont, playing third fiddle to Nebbiolo and Barbera. Only in Dogliani does Dolcetto get top billing and a DOCG to boot. I cannot find the tasting notes of the above wine to hand at this moment but I seem to remember a tasty drink.
