2004 Athena Dolcetto

Our 2004 "Athena" Dolcetto is a fruity delight wine with notes of raspberry, strawberry and sweet cherry.

Crafted with 100% Dolcetto grapes, a varietal native to northern ...moreItaly. This wine has an inviting high fruity-ness and low tannin, with a soft and supple mouth-feel, making it ideal for early consumption. This is a remarkably food friendly wine as well as a good â€œbridge wineâ€ for those just learning to appreciate red wines or even of white wine aficionados. We recommend chilling â€œAthenaâ€ slightly before serving for added enjoyment.

Cienega Valley

The grapes for this wine were grown exclusively on our Cienega Valley estate. Prior to fermentation the newly pressed grapes underwent three weeks of cold soak to ensure maximum ex ...moretraction of color and flavor. Two years of barrel aging softened the tannins and developed the vibrant berry, hazelnut and licorice flavors.

SILVER MEDAL
2005 ORANGE COUNTY FAIR

This distinctive Ca ...morel-Italia wine is a result of our continuing commitment to introduce small lots of new and exciting wines to the members of our Guglielmo Wine Group. This very limited release will be primarily available only in our Tasting Room. The Dolcetto (dohl-chet-toe) grape is native to Northern Italyâ€™s Piedmonte foothills - the region our grandparents came from. Pair this with a great tomato-based pasta dish and before you know it your mind will conjure images of a leisurely dinner at a sidewalk cafÃ© in Torino.

WINEMAKERS NOTES:
Produced from 100% Dolcetto grown in Santa Barbara County, the wine opens with an inviting array of aromas including raspberry, vanilla, smoky cedar and anise. On the palate tangy cranberry fruit flavors and well-integrated tannins linger like an Italian sunset. The rich fruit and soft spice is perfect with a variety of richly flavored foods, especially Italian! This special limited bottling produced 250 cases.

Alcohol: 14.3%
