2017 Flavio Roddolo Dolcetto d'Aba Superiore
90
Vinous
Review Date: 01/2026The 2017 Dolcetto d'Alba Superiore is quite the powerhouse. Bold and explosive, the 2017 saturates the palate with intense dark red fruit, game, incense, iron, tobacco and lavender. At nearly ten years of age, the 2017 is shockingly dense and youthful. There's just a touch of volatile acidity that might disturb some palates, but also a ton of character that goes with it. (AG)

Notes
Flavio Roddolo’s Dolcetto d'Alba Superiore is a bold and deeply structured expression of Dolcetto, showcasing richness, depth, and rustic elegance. The nose is intense and layered, revealing aromas of ripe black cherry, wild berries, and plum, intertwined with notes of violet, licorice, and earthy spice. The palate is full-bodied yet fresh, offering juicy dark fruit, firm tannins, and a distinct mineral core, all balanced by lively acidity. A long, persistent finish lingers with nuances of balsamic, cocoa, and crushed herbs.
