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.

The word of the wine: Tanin
A natural compound contained in the skin of the grape, the seed or the woody part of the bunch, the stalk. The maceration of red wines allows the extraction of tannins, which give the texture, the solidity and also the mellowness when the tannins are "ripe". The winemaker seeks above all to extract the tannins from the skin, the ripest and most noble. The tannins of the seed or stalk, which are "greener", especially in average years, give the wine hardness and astringency. The wines of Bordeaux (based on Cabernet and Merlot) are full of tannins, those of Burgundy much less so, with Pinot Noir containing little.
