Albino Rocca Dolcetto D'Alba 2018

Screwcap. Albino Rocca's Dolcetto d'Alba is drawn from a single vineyard in Barbaresco, a very serious location with a first-rate, east to south-east exposure for the most part. The vines are 30-40 years old, and thanks to their maturity and the sensible yields they offer, this wine displays more intensity and texture than many a garden-variety Dolcetto D'Alba. This is reared only in tank to preserve purity and, like the other Rocca 2018s, shows the strength of the vintage--with loads of pure, juicy, red cherry and cranberry fruits and a vibrant, punchy close. Terrific value

"Albino Rocca's 2018 Dolcetto d'Alba is bright, fresh and absolutely delicious. Sweet floral notes, red and purplish berry fruit are front and center in a Dolcetto that is quite exuberant and yet retains a very classic mid-weight sense of structure. What a delicious wine this is. The Dolcetto is the clear standout in the entry-level segment of the Albino Rocca range." 89 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
