Dolcetto
Dolcetto (:dolˈtʃetto) is a black Italian wine grape variety widely grown in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. The Italian word ''dolcetto'' means "little sweet one", but it is not certain that the name originally carried any reference to the grape’s sugar levels: it is possible that it derives from the name of the hills where the vine is cultivated.〔 In any case the wines produced are nearly always dry. They can be tannic and fruity with moderate,〔 or decidedly low,〔 levels of acidity and are typically meant to be consumed one to two years after release.〔O. Clarke ''Encyclopedia of Grapes'' pg 86 Harcourt Books 2001 ISBN 0-15-100714-4〕
==History==
One theory suggests the grape originated in France and was brought to Monferrato some time in the 11th century.〔J. Robinson ''Vines, Grapes & Wines'' pg 209 Mitchell Beazley Publishing 1986 ISBN 1-85732-999-6〕 A competing theory has the grape originating in the Piedmontese village of Dogliani.〔K. MacNeil ''The Wine Bible'' pg 332 Workman Publishing 2001 ISBN 1-56305-434-5〕 In 1593, an ordinance of the municipality of Dogliani which forbade the harvesting of ''dozzetti'' grapes earlier than Saint Matthew's Day, unless an exceptional authorization had been granted, has been taken to refer to this variety, which is still known in local dialects under the names ''duzet'' and ''duset''.〔(‘Dolcetto di Dogliani: Il principe dei vini doglianesi’ ), Comune di Dogliani, 2004.〕〔(‘Dolcetto’ ), Consorzio di tutela Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe e Roero.〕 A document of 1633 records the presence of Dolcetto in the cellars of the Arboreo family of Valenza.〔(‘Il Dolcetto’ ), Associazione italiana sommeliers: Sezione territoriale Trentino. A report of a presentation given by Roberto Perrici in Trento at the Palazzo Roccabruna on 27 February 2007.〕 In 1700, Barnabà Centurione sent the wine as a gift to Queen Anne of Great Britain.〔〔Barnabà Centurione was marquis of Morsasco where Dolcetto di Ovada is still produced today. See (‘Morsasco’ ), Alessandria: 190 Comuni, Provincia di Alessandria, Dipartimento Economia e Sviluppo〕
Along with the French grape Chatus, Dolcetto is a parent variety to several Piedmontese grapes including Valentino nero, Passus and San Martino.〔J. Robinson, J. Harding and J.
