Barbaresco DOCG Vigneto Brich Ronchi Albino Rocca 2016

The wine

This wine is produced from vines aged between 50 and 70 years, which enjoy a south-easterly exposure. The wine has been matured for a genuinely long time: 20 months in oak barrels and 20-hectolitre casks. Well balanced and flavoursome, this wine offers seductively mellow tannins and a rounded character. It should be drunk in its first flush of youth, and deserves to be opened 2-3 hours before drinking.

About the Producer Albino Rocca

Angelo and Albino Rocca's 10-hectare domaine produces two Barbaresco crus - Bric Ronchi and Loreto - which have attracted praise from international professional critics. Small yields are favoured to create concentrated wines with excellent cellaring potential.
