Tasting notes
The Albino Rocca 2021 Barbaresco Ronchi shows a dusty mineral quality that adds to the elegance of the bouquet. Beyond that, you get nicely ripened Nebbiolo fruit with wild cherry and redcurrant. It fleshes out over the palate with tart flavors and chalky tannins. Production is 9,000 bottles.

The 2021 Barbaresco Ronchi comes across as a bit youthfully austere relative to some of the other wines in the range. Chalk, mint, white pepper, scorched earth and strong mineral notes infuse the Ronchi with tremendous power to match its sinewy, driving personality. This vivid, sculpted Barbaresco is hugely promising.
Barbaresco. Youthful, just mid ruby. Finely perfumed but still a little brooding on the nose and with savoury, minerally notes and a hint of morocco leather. Fantastic grip of grainy tannins on succulent raspberry fruit. Very long and tactile. (WS)
