Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2008 Micune Langhe Rosso
UK£9.99- Grape Blend: Dolcetto, Merlot
- Origin: Italy, Piedmont
- Producer: Poderi Luigi Einaudi
- Style: Medium Bodied Reds
- Tasting Note: This is a new wine from Einaudi which is made from 80% Dolcetto and 20% Merlot, the latter being aged in oak. The resulting wine has the earthiness of the Dolcetto backed with liquorice and dark berry flavours of the Merlot. Delicious.

Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2007 Dolcetto di Dogliani
UK£12.99- Grape Blend: Dolcetto
- Origin: Italy, Piedmont
- Producer: Poderi Luigi Einaudi
- Style: Medium Bodied Reds
- Tasting Note: Einaudi is perhaps the best producer of this underrated grape variety. In Dogliani, Dolcetto is king rather than third best to Barbera and Nebbiolo as in other areas. Rich and fruity with scents of undergrowth and blackberries.

Fontanassa 2008 Cescko Monferrato Rosso
UK£12.99- Grape Blend: Dolcetto
- Origin: Italy, Piedmont
- Producer: Fontanassa
- Style: Medium Bodied Reds
- Tasting Note: Different from Einaudi, our other producer of Dolcetto, this has crunchier fruit, less earthy, but shows the lovely autumnal fruit we have come to expect from this variety.
