 Tasted by Outplaying on 2/7/2024: I don't drink a lot of Dolcetto, but I enjoyed this and the Bartolo Mascarello tonight. This one seemed slightly more intense and structured than the other, but there is still an elegance to it. Some spice and floral notes on the nose. Red fruit tones. Plenty of acidity. I would buy this again. (393 views)
 Tasted by gnsti on 12/13/2023 & rated 94 points: 진한 퍼플,
블루베리, 포도, 체리
아주 프루티하고 아주 생동감이 넘치면 아주 신선한 느낌
타닌은 거의 느껴지지 않을정도로 부드럽고, 산미도 다른 돌체토보다 훨씬 좋다.
색과 다른 미디엄 바디

일주일이 지나도 아주 강건하고 좋았던.
이게 진짜 돌체톤가 싶을정도로 맛있다! (409 views)
 Tasted by Jowh on 5/9/2023 & rated 88 points: Great stuffing and acidity for a dolcetto. (723 views)
 Tasted by maxima on 3/25/2023 & rated 89 points: Frais est assez fruité.
Des fraises et des roses avec
un peu d'épices.
Souple et soyeux, rien n'accroche.
Finale courte mais digeste.
Beau petit vin avec une forte buvabilité.
On aime. (1225 views)
 Tasted by Hanibal on 10/8/2022 & rated 90 points: Still very young. I would hold on to these for 4 or 5 years. A little too strict even with a decant. (1138 views)
 Tasted by benjamin96 on 9/7/2022 & rated 90 points: S’est beaucoup ouvert sur 2-3 heures. Initialement cetait fonce et ferme. S’ensuit du fruite rouge et noir, moka, petite pointes d’herbes seches, pour se terminer sur une belle finale legerement assechante. A bien accompagne les pates bologneses. (793 views)
 Tasted by trifreddy on 8/27/2022 & rated 91 points: Belles notes de violettes, de mures et une touche de cacao. Précis et raffiné, j'adore! (686 views)
 Tasted by skurtz on 5/24/2022 & rated 90 points: This is a well made, typical dolcetto. 89/90 (686 views)

Giuseppe Rinaldi

Fine Wine Geek Giuseppe Rinaldi page

GIUSEPPE RINALDI

A family-run production company, it exclusively produces grapes produced from its own vineyards. At the beginning of the 19th century, Battista Rinaldi was a cultivator of some vineyards of the Feudo of the Marquises Falletti di Barolo. Later he became a farmer owner and, initially, a seller of the grapes produced. Later, with his sons, he became a winemaker and bottler. The same company tradition, of character and craft dimensions, today continues with Giuseppe Rinaldi and the fifth and sixth generation daughters. The company produces Barolo for about 60% (Brunate vineyards, Le Coste, Cannubi-San Lorenzo, Ravera) and for the rest, Piedmontese wines such as Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba, Nebbiolo and Freisa delle Langhe, Ruchè.

Dolcetto

Varietal character (Appellation America)

Dolcetto, a northern Italian varietal from the Piedmont region, is a lighter bodied red. This wine is fruity and means 'little sweet one' in Italian. Some will opt to put a slight chill on it. Perfect with Mediterrean cuisine such as grilled meats and vegetables. Enjoy as a summertime delight. from (Woodward Canyon website)

Alba

Consorzio di Tutela Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe e Roero

Alba is a town and comune of Piedmont, Italy, in the province of Cuneo. It is considered the capital of the hilly area of Langhe, and is famous for the white truffle, peach and wine production. Piedmont is in the Northwestern region of Italy, bordering France and Switzerland. Piedmont is predominantly a plain where the water flows from the Swiss and French Alps to form the headwaters of the Po river. The major wine producing areas are in the southern portion of the region in the hills known as the "Langhe". Here the people speak a dialect that is 1/3 French and 2/3 Italian that portrays their historical roots. Their cuisine is one of the most creative and interesting in Italy. Nebbiolo is the King grape here, producing Barolo and Barbaresco. In addition, the Barbera and Dolcetto are the workhorse grapes that produce the largest quantity of wine. Piedmont is predominantly a red wine producing area. There are a few whites made in Piedmont, and the Moscato grape produces a large volume of sweet, semi-sweet and sparkling wines as well.
