Tasting Notes
Clearly a brilliant vintage for this wine. Powerful yet supple and fleshy. The tannins are there but are ultra fine and are wonderfully balanced by the seductive fruit. Pure, supple and long. This is the largest and therefore the best known wine of the Estate with some 2,000 cases produced.
"A picture of elegance, this Barbaresco exudes rose, strawberry, raspberry and spice flavors, picking up a chewy texture as it cruises to a long finish. Medium-weight, vibrant and harmonious Best from 2013 through 2028."

Albino Rocca
Angelo Rocca had a revelation several years ago and decided to move away from barriques and back to large format, neutral oak (the ultimate vessel for Nebbiolo maturation). Today only a small percentage of the Barbera and the Brich Ronchi spend any time in barrique and very few of these barrels are new. All other wines are matured in large, 2,000 litre botti, The wines are still “modern” in the sense that they are ripe, pure and meticulously made, but instead of any distracting new oak character you have solely the wonderful dark cherry, floral and savoury structured personality of Nebbiolo in all its glory.
