Cogno's 1999 Dolcetto d'Alba is an excellent example of this tasty varietal. An opaque purple color is accompanied by chewy, berry flavors, excellent purity, not much complexity, but mouth-staining levels of richness and intensity. It is a fruit-dominated blockbuster to drink over the next 4-5 years. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
