The Rocca Albino 2020 Barbaresco DOCG Montersino is a vinous work of art from the Langhe hills, where the sweetness of the land and the unique microclimate give rise to one of Italy's noblest grape varieties: Nebbiolo. This dry red wine immediately conveys a sense of elegance and complexity, a distinctive characteristic of the Barbaresco denomination.
In the glass, Rocca Albino presents an intense garnet red color that invites exploration of its nuances. On the nose, a symphony of aromas unfolds: floral notes of rose and violet intertwine with fruity hints of cherry, plum, and blackcurrant, accompanied by a slight spiciness reminiscent of black pepper and incense. Aging in oak barrels adds a touch of vanilla and toast, enriching the aromatic profile with depth.
On the palate, the Barbaresco Montersino offers a silky and enveloping texture, with well-integrated tannins that support the taste. The freshness is well-balanced, creating a pleasant persistence that echoes the olfactory sensations. A long and lingering finish leaves a mark, inviting another sip.
Perfectly paired with red meat dishes such as Barolo-braised beef or grilled beef tenderloin, the Rocca Albino 2020 is also suitable for more refined culinary encounters, such as aged cheeses and game roasts. This wine is an ideal companion for special evenings, capable of bringing the history and tradition of one of Italy's most captivating wine regions to the table. With every sip, Rocca Albino narrates its unique terroir and the passion behind its creation, making it a wine to discover and savor over time.
