Although several DOCs (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) produce Dolcetto, the most prominent ones are Dolcetto d'Alba and Docetto d'Asti.
Wines made from Dolcetto are reddish-purple and light- to medium-bodied. They are easy drinking wines that are usually consumed young. Tasting notes include fruit aromas such as ripe blackberries and red plum. Dolcetto wines taste dry and have soft tannins.
