The 2010 Dolcetto d’Alba is a highy attractive, restrained wine laced with sweet dark fruit, spices, mint, violets and licorice. This mid-weight, stylish Dolcetto is full of varietal character. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015. This is a solid set of new releases from Francesco Rinaldi. I would be hard pressed to name another winery that has made more significant improvements in the overall quality of the wines than Francesco Rinaldi. The style remains rigorously traditional, but the wines are far more elegant than they were just a few years ago. The 2007 Baroli are quite typical for the year. Importers: Polaner Selections, Mt.
