About the wine
Giuseppe Rinaldi Dolcetto d’Alba 2017 is a brilliant example of how one of Barolo’s most iconic producers can create a wine that combines freshness, fruit and tradition in an elegant and immediate style. Although Rinaldi is primarily known for his Barolo wines, his Dolcetto is an excellent expression of the grape variety and the terroir it comes from. Dolcetto is a wine that should generally be drunk young, but the 2017 vintage still has plenty of life and intensity. Color: Deep ruby red with violet hues. Aroma: Notes of dark cherry, blueberry, violets and almond with a hint of spice. Taste: Fresh, juicy and medium-bodied with a nice balance of fruit, acidity and soft tannins. Flavors of blackberries, plums, licorice and light spicy minerality. Finish: Elegant and persistent with a slightly bitter almond finish – a classic Dolcetto characteristic.
Dolcetto has naturally low acidity and moderate tannins, making it a more approachable wine than Barolo, but Rinaldi’s version has a bit more structure than average.
