Description
The Rocca family has been cultivating Nebbiolo for over a century, starting with selling their grapes for small scale production. In 1955 the company was established in one of the most precious regions of Piemonte – Barbaresco. 1971 was the first vintage produced under the Albino Rocca label.
This wine is from the limestone rich, Ronchi Cru. The wine is aged in large, 20 hectoliter German and Austrian oak casks for 2 years.
Deeper than the other cru’s, with a dense palate and little more dark fruit. Great concentration, vibrance and texture.
‘Albino Rocca’s wines are characterised by beautifully pristine aromas and a seductive texture, In this example, I was arrested by a vibrant top note of intense redcurrant and violets and very juicy acidity. I love its brightness and intensity.” Susan Hulme MW, Decanter (May 2019)
