Rinaldi’s 2011 Dolcetto d’Alba Roussot is the kind of wine you rarely see anymore these days. A pure, traditionally made Dolcetto that highlights the sheer deliciousness of the grape. Sweet dark berries, crushed flowers and a hint of licorice all float on the delicate, finessed finish. The feminine side of Dolcetto comes through beautifully. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015. It is great to see a continued focus on quality at this historic, family-run estate. Importer: Polaner Selections, Mt. Kisco, NY; tel. (914) 244-0404

Readers who appreciate a sturdy style of Dolcetto will delight in Rinaldi’s 2008 Dolcetto d’Alba Roussot. The wine reveals plenty of perfumed, varietal red fruits supported by a firm tannic spine that gives the wine its sense of length. The finish is clean and refreshing, I continue to be impressed with the improving quality of the wines at this address. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2013. Importers: Polaner Selections, Mt.

A tasty Dolcetto, with plum, flowers and citrus fruits on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, with pleasant chocolate and mineral character coming through. Has a relaxed finish. Drink now.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Dolcetto d'Alba Select to Add

Lean and earthy, with a strong gamy, leathery character that shoulders past the fruit.??–null??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Dolcetto d'Alba Select to Add

Smells exuberantly fruity, but gets tough and tannic on the palate, echoing smoke and chocolate notes more than its natural berry flavor on the finish. Seems too harsh, but could improve by 1995.??–null??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Dolcetto d'Alba Select to Add
