De Forville's Dolcetto is always admirably rich, well-balanced and marked by a hint of bitter almond on the finish. It's also been one of our perennial best buys in Italian red wine. Dolcetto often gets short shrift by being lumped into the category of "light, fruity" reds that can lack complexity, but the truth is that the best Dolcetto offers deep, saturated color, plenty of plum/raspberry aromas and flavors, surprising body and plenty of refreshing acidity. Whether you're in the drink-before-you-think or the think-before-you-drink camp, this is one of the rare wines that offers something for everyone.
