Generally but this depends on the meaning of the sentence. As in English adjectives can have an attributive or predicative function and in this sentence the adjective has been used with a predicative function
They don't mean the same thing. un dolce gusto means that it has a nice taste, whereas un gusto dolce means that it tastes sweet.
It's fascinating how Italians themselves come here to claim that it doesn't matter where you place the adjective, when they would actually never misplace it in real life.
It sounds very unnatural, or poetic. Those adjective-noun inversions are used in poetry.

Non è nè innaturale nè poetico, in italiano. Che un cibo abbia un "dolce gusto" si usa tranquillamente anche nel comune parlare.
Because it is common in the romance languages. Putting an adjective before a noun is mostly used to emphasize the quality of the noun.
Sorry but just a sentence ago the fruit tasted sweet and it was dolce gusto and everyone was writing the opposite of your opinion.
Why is it ... un gusto dolce ... and not... una gusto dolce? Which is the masculine, the 'gusto' or the 'dolce', while the 'La' is reference to the cake (feminine).
I'am Brazilian, and all adjectives in latin languages really appear after. It is not correctly says dolce gusto.
That's a good question! The user Duolessio above said that the inversion is poetic, maybe this film title is worded more poetically than I ever realized! :D
If the adjective came before the noun, then "sweet" would come before "taste". I think the noun comes before the adjective.
What? So we can have "La dolce vita" but we can't have "un dolce gusto"? This can't be right, surely!
Duolingo si può dire in entrambi i modi ma ci sei p ci faiii ?dai sono italianaaaaa
It's all Nestlé's fault. I thought it was dolce gusto because of their coffee machine Dolce Gusto... smh
