WINE ENTHUSIAST 96 POINTS - "Floral aromas of rose and violet align with Morello cherry and aromatic herb on this fragrant red. Precise and savory, the palate is still youthfully tense, delivering red cherry, pomegranate and licorice alongside tightly wound, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. Give it time to fully develop..." Drink through 2039.
This bottling shows a slightly fleshier side to the region's lean, chiseled, and well-structured wines (especially in 2019, with its high-toned, floral wines of lacy tannic structure). It comes from comes from 40 to 70-year-old vines in the Ronchi vineyard (in the Barbaresco sub-zone), with southeastern exposure toward the midday sun, and calcareous clay with sand. Aged at least 20 months in German and Austrian oak, which has a subtle impact on the flavors. It's the historic vineyard for the family, who started growing and selling grapes in the 1940s; Albino Rocca then started the family winery when he took over the vineyards in the 1960s.
