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

"The 2022 Barbaresco is a fine introduction to the Barbarescos at this address. Soft, open-knit and forward, the 2022 will drink well with minimal cellaring. A burst of ripe red fruits, blood orange, spice and floral notes caresses the palate. All the elements are so well balanced." - 90 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
