Discover the grape variety: Dolcetto nero
An Italian variety that is very present in Piedmont, it is also found in Argentina and France, where it is registered in the Official Catalogue of Wine Grape Varieties, list A1. Dolcetto nero would be the sweet black one. However, the one we encountered, both at Daumas-Gassac in Aniane in the Hérault and at Pouzols-Minervois in the Aude, does not have the same ampelographic characteristics: the first difference is that the petiolar point and the veins are wine red and not green like those of the douce noire.
