Dolcetto (UK: /dɒlˈtʃɛtoʊ/dol-CHET-oh,[1]US: /doʊlˈ-/dohl-,[2][3]Italian:[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.[4] In any case the wines produced are nearly always dry. They can be tannic and fruity with moderate,[5] or decidedly low,[4] levels of acidity and are typically meant to be consumed within a few years after release.[5]
