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.
