Dolcetto 2021

$40.00
Award-Winner

Dolcetto, or “little sweet one”, is one of the few true black grapes, meaning the flesh and skin are a dark purple. This vintage represents our first adventure with Dolcetto. Originally grown in Piedmont, Italy, we feel this grape is doing wonderfully in the hot climate of West Texas. Our grower for this varietal is Jet Wilmeth of Diamante Doble Vineyards (Tokio, TX). Becker Vineyards has a long-standing relationship with Jet Wilmeth and his proven green thumb as one of our premier grape growers.

77% Dolcetto, 9% Grenache, 9% Zinfandel, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot

Great vineyards - the best wines we tasted in Texas! I wouldn't think you could say these were from Texas in a blind tasting. Really good oaky whites and reds!

Daniel F.

Becker’s is one of the top three wineries in Texas. Premium excellent Texas wines at a fair price. Events at the winery near Fredericksburg are not to be missed!

Love visiting Becker. This is TEXAS wine! Even if they hadn't been served multiple times at the White House or won multiple double gold medals at the San Francisco International wine competition, I would still enjoy the wine because it is fabulous!
