Toccata – Dolcetto Fresco 2023 🍒🌿
Santa Barbara County, California – USA

Inspired by Italy’s playful Vino Novello, this is a spirited, fruit-forward take on the classic Dolcetto — 100% estate-grown from the Lucas & Lewellen Family’s Los Alamos Valley Vineyards. It also marks a milestone: their very first wine crafted with carbonic maceration. This winemaking approach locks in vivid aromatics and freshness, making every sip feel alive.

On the palate: a joyful rush of ripe cherries 🍒, delicate clove spice, and aromatic herbs 🌿, balancing juicy fruitiness with subtle savory depth. The finish? Refreshingly crisp and irresistibly moreish.

Style tip: Serve lightly chilled — this is your new red for summer afternoons, picnics, and casual evenings on the patio.
A delicious reminder that Dolcetto can be both fun and elegant. 🥂 — 12 days ago

Wow. Violets and red fruit! Beautiful integration. Good acid and full body, notes of overripe fruit. The tannins have integrated well. — 8 years ago

Waited to open this on a special occasion and did so in honor of my Mom since I bought it with her. It's a full body wine with a fruit forward and sweet finish. Ends a little heavy but has some really nice plum notes. — 9 years ago
