Liquid Rock’n Roll Ghetto Dolcetto 2023 by Alex Byrne is a bright, juicy chilled‑red from Swan Hill that nails that modern, drink‑now Italian vibe with Aussie swagger, all purple brightness, energy and loads of personality in the glass.

In the glass, Ghetto Dolcetto 2023 is intensely coloured with vibrant aromatics of black cherry, plum, red berries and a lick of spice, sitting over a lively, fruit‑forward palate. Tannins are fine but present enough to give shape, keeping it crunchy, refreshing and dangerously smashable served lightly chilled.

On the table, Liquid Rock’n Roll Ghetto Dolcetto loves charcuterie, wood‑fired pizza, tomato‑based pasta, grilled sausages, burgers and anything you’d pour a juicy Beaujolais alongside. It’s also spot‑on for a barbecue or midweek pasta night, where the bright fruit and gentle grip match rich, savoury flavours beautifully.
