Description / Reviews
"This Barbaresco without any other mention comes from the blending of the different parcels of Nebbiolo grapes coming from the youngest Barbaresco vineyards of the family. They produce a wine with elegant characters giving the consumer a wine of more elegance while having a greater possibility of occasions for consumption." - Albino Rocca, Winemaker
"In addition to its classic source—a parcel of old vines in Meruzzano—Rocca’s Barbaresco now takes in a selection of young-vine fruit from Albino Rocca Barbaresco Crus, including Cottà and Ronchi. These impressive sources, and meticulous winemaking—three weeks on skins and maturation exclusively in large, low-impact oak botti for 20 months—result in a benchmark wine for this level." - Bibendum, Importer
"A floral style, showing roses and violets at the forefront as well as pomegranate and a slightly peppery character. Medium-bodied, it shows fierce, fresh structure with chewy tannins and a spicy finish. Focused on youthfulness." - 92 Points, Aldo Fiordelli, James Suckling
