2024 Francesco Rinaldi e Figli Roussot Dolcetto d’Alba

Francesco Rinaldi & Figli Roussot Dolcetto d’Alba 2024 captures Piedmontese Dolcetto with clarity, freshness, and unmistakable vineyard character.
It comes from a one-hectare parcel in Barolo, close to the Cannubi area, where vines date to the mid-1970s.
Stainless-steel fermentation and élevage preserve the grape’s fragrant fruit, lively freshness, and distinctly dry character.

Nose: Violet and ripe cherry emerge immediately.
Red berries follow alongside subtle spice and an earthy undertone, giving the aromas a fresh yet grounded character.

Palate: Juicy fruit meets lively acidity and gentle tannins.
Cherry and berry flavors feel bright and focused, while a faint savory quality adds depth through the middle of the palate.

Finish: A delicate almond note lingers at the close.
Fresh acidity keeps things crisp as the red fruit gradually fades into subtle earthy and savory tones.

Italian comfort food makes an easy match.
Try it with pizza, tomato-based pasta, salumi, roasted chicken, grilled sausages, or mushroom dishes.
The wine’s freshness cuts through richer ingredients while its soft tannins keep the pairing balanced and effortless.
