The Rocca Albino 2020 Barbaresco DOCG is a red wine that embodies the essence of the Langhe, a region famous for its winemaking tradition. This Barbaresco, made from Nebbiolo grapes, represents a balance between elegance and structure, offering a sensory experience that reveals the richness of the territory. The 2020 vintage benefited from favorable weather, which allowed the grapes to reach perfect ripeness, ensuring a unique concentration of aromas and flavors.
In the glass, the wine displays a bright ruby color with garnet reflections that hint at the complexity of the aromatic bouquet. On the nose, fresh notes of red fruits such as cherries and raspberries can be detected, accompanied by floral hints of violet, evoking the springtime of the Piedmont hills. Over time, earthy nuances and delicate spices, such as licorice and white pepper, emerge, further enhancing the olfactory experience.
On the palate, the Rocca Albino 2020 shows itself to be powerful and enveloping, with dense but well-integrated tannins that provide a roundness. The freshness is well-balanced, making it a highly drinkable wine that pairs beautifully with red meat dishes, such as braised dishes and roasts, as well as medium-aged cheeses. A wine that, despite its young age, has the potential to evolve splendidly in the bottle, offering surprises in the coming years. It invites you to explore the culture and history of a region through a sip of Barbaresco, a symbol of a tradition rooted in the heart of Italy.
