The 2020 Albino Rocca Barbaresco Angelo is a beautifully expressive and deeply personal Barbaresco dedicated to Angelo Rocca, showcasing the elegance and finesse that define this celebrated estate. Crafted from select estate parcels in a refined traditional style, the wine combines Nebbiolo’s lifted aromatics and fine structure with impressive depth and complexity. The nose reveals red cherry, dried rose and wild strawberry layered alongside orange peel, sweet spice, tobacco and delicate earthy notes, giving the wine remarkable perfume and sophistication.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, chalky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and beautifully concentrated red berry fruit. Layers of cherry, cranberry and savoury spice are balanced by mineral freshness and subtle earthy depth, finishing long, poised and finely detailed with excellent structure and ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2020 Albino Rocca Barbaresco Angelo is a superb Barbaresco — elegant, savoury and beautifully layered with outstanding finesse and complexity. Perfect with truffle dishes, braised meats, mushroom risotto, roast duck or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar through 2050+.
