Process & Production

Ménage à Trois sources grapes from California vineyards selected for their rich fruit character and body. Moscato forms the sweet foundation of the blend, while Zinfandel contributes jammy fruit flavors and Syrah adds darker fruit intensity and depth.

Gentle grape-processing techniques and cold fermentation at 50°F are used to preserve the wine's naturally rich flavors and aromas. The winemaking process also uses 90% non-malolactic fermentation to maintain crisp acidity, creating a refreshing counterpoint to the wine's sweetness. Natural raspberry and blackberry flavors are added, along with elevated carbonation for Dolce's signature lively character.

Deep ruby red with vibrant purple highlights and a lively, lightly sparkling appearance.

Dolce offers a playful take on California red wine by combining sweet berry flavors, natural fruit character, and light carbonation.
