Giancarlo Rocca makes this Barbaresco with fruit from the Ronchi MGA, where his winery is located, as well as from several other estate vineyards. He ages the wine in large Slavonian casks to retain pure flavors of freshly crushed cherry, raspberry and orange peel. The wine feels focused and integrated, gaining warm spice notes and a hint of forest floor with exposure to air even as the fruit flavors remain tangy and mouthwatering.

The 2019 Barbaresco (Red Label) is more floral with rose petal, cherry candy, and cinnamon. It is medium bodied but has more of an arch through the mid-palate and has a light gamey note. Fairly long, with ripe, good tannin structure, it is approachable and showing well. Best After 2024.
 
Winemaker Notes
Aromas of black cherries, licorice, game, light smoke; full-bodied and concentrated yet balanced, with moderate tannins and good length. Great aging potential.
