The 2012 Dolcetto d’Alba Rousori is a cheerful and perky wine with a dense, compact texture and those telltale aromas of blueberry and crushed white pepper that so beautifully define the Dolcetto grape. It’s a lovely expression with vibrant appeal and loads of fleshy fruit for you to gnaw on. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2016. Founded in 1914, Icardi is located between the Langhe and Monferrato regions and is run by brother and sister team Claudio and Mariagrazia Icardi. The estate boasts 75 hectares of vines of which ten are farmed according to biodynamic principles. Importer: Vinifera Imports, www.viniferaimports.com
