The 2022 Albino Rocca Barbaresco is a beautifully poised and elegant Barbaresco from one of the region’s most respected family estates. Crafted in a refined, traditional style, the wine combines Nebbiolo’s lifted aromatics and fine tannin structure with the finesse and purity that define great Barbaresco. The nose reveals red cherry, dried rose and wild strawberry layered alongside orange peel, subtle spice and delicate earthy notes, giving the wine impressive fragrance and complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, chalky tannins, bright natural acidity and beautifully focused red berry fruit. Layers of cherry, cranberry and savoury spice are balanced by mineral freshness and subtle earthy depth, finishing long, refined and finely structured with excellent balance and ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2022 Albino Rocca Barbaresco is a superb classic Barbaresco — elegant, savoury and beautifully detailed with excellent finesse and structure. Perfect with truffle dishes, roast duck, braised meats, mushroom risotto or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar through 2045+.
