I’d normally agree with you, but it was in a short list of dry Italian reds, clearly carefully selected to go with the food, and the description made it sound anything but sweet. Thankfully, at least, it wasn’t the fizzy style.

Here’s a basic rule: If you don’t see the style noted on the wine list or the label, you can almost always assume that the wine is dolce/sweet, i.e. made to an importer’s specifications.

Here’s another example that is extremely confusing: http://www.lambruscoday.org/gary-vaynerchuck-on-lambrusco-617.html = The very same brand is ‘secco’ in Italy but ‘sweet’ in the USA/outside of Emilia.
