The 2008 Dolcetto d-Alba Vigna Melera comes across as a touch lighter than the 2009 Vigna Scot. Dried flowers, red berries, earthiness and spices are some of the notes that emerge from this mid-weight, feminine Dolcetto. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2013. It's tough to go wrong with pretty much anything from Cavallotto these days. The estate's entry-level wines offer nearly as much pleasure as the higher-end wines, but at far more soothing prices.
