This is an impressive Dolcetto with a deeply aromatic character. The generous notes of pressed flowers, roses and perfumed violets distinguish this expression from the rest. Those huge floral and fruit tones transfer to the mouth as well, where they last long on the finish.——M.L.(9/1/2010)—— 88

The 2003 Dolcetto Rocchetevino offers powerful varietal aromas of plums and cherries, almonds, and tomato paste. However, it finishes with some hardness and rough tannins, and it seems doubtful that these will disappear with time. Importer: Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
