Tasting Notes

The Albino Rocca 2021 Barbaresco is a big surprise. This wine is fresh and bright, showing enormous focus and purity on the bouquet. There is impressive complexity too with crushed limestone, blue flower and bright cassis. I have not tasted this wine in a while and wonder where they've been hiding this beauty. Fruit comes from Meruzzano, Cottà and the youngest vines in Ronchi. Production is 13,000 bottles. 94pts. Drink 2025-2038. Monica Larner for Wine Advocate.
