Albino Rocca Dolcetto D'Alba 2024
Wines taste best when shared with friends!
Albino Rocca’s Dolcetto d’Alba comes from four sources. Mature vines in Barbaresco and San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, southeast of Alba, have always been part of the mix. New parcels in Nieve and Treiso now make this Dolcetto a more complete picture of the Barbaresco region. The Barbaresco vines were planted in 1960 and 1978. Thanks to their maturity and sensible yields, this wine typically displays more intensity and texture than many a garden-variety Dolcetto d’Alba. Of course, coming from the cooler, later, more humid 2024 vintage (harvest finished October 14th), this is a brighter, more delicate example, but it’s still a cracker. So classic, vibrant, red fruited, perfumed and fresh. Lovely.
"The 2024 Dolcetto d’Alba is bright and refreshing. Crushed flowers and red/purplish berry fruit are nicely pushed forward in this light-bodied, crisp offering from Albino Rocca. This is old school in the best way.” 90pts | Antonio Galloni | Vinous
“Albino Rocca is one of the most intriguing estates in Barbaresco right now.” Antonio Galloni, vinous.com
