Matteo Ascheri leads his family domaine, originally founded in the 19th century, from the small Piedmont village of Bra.

This absolutely delicious dolcetto at a bargain price should be kept on hand for your weeknight pizza, burger or more ambitious slow-roasted duck leg confit. Dolcetto is considered the lower-rung grape of the region, but this example bursts with juicy red cherry, refreshing acidity and a spiced cranberry finish. (Gary)
