2017 Barbaresco Montersino, Albino Rocca
A fine, delicate nose with notes of fresh strawberries, forest floor and licorice. Very, very good.
The taste is sandy and structured with notes of sandelwood, licorice and wild strawberries. Very long and fine.

8+ years.

2017 Barbaresco Ronchi, Albino Rocca
A very fine, refined nose with a mix of red and black cherries, rose petals, forest floor and asphalt. Lovely.

I have very fond memories of The Barolo Boys visit to the estate in 2009. We had a great tasting and then a long, wonderful lunch with Angelo Rocca (who died in a plane crash in 2012).
