With cheese
Bra
Our pick Qualigeo recommends young Piedmont reds with Bra Tenero. Dolcetto fits: a young, fruity red with soft tannin, easy beside the mild, fragrant white paste of a Tenero.
Toma Piemontese
Our pick A whole-milk Toma is soft, sweet, slightly acidic and salty. Dolcetto's soft tannin and dark berry fruit sit easily beside it, with nothing in either to fight the other.

- Glassware. Use a Burgundy bowl with a wide opening: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
- Pair with. Pizza margherita, Salumi and bread, Friulano-style frico. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
