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. 🥂
