The 2022 Albino Rocca Barbaresco Cottà is a beautifully powerful and refined single-vineyard Barbaresco from the celebrated Cottà cru in Neive. Crafted in a classic yet polished style, the wine combines Nebbiolo’s lifted aromatics and fine structure with the depth and concentration that define this renowned site. The nose reveals red cherry, wild strawberry and dried rose layered alongside orange peel, sweet spice and subtle earthy notes, giving the wine impressive complexity and elegance.

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 earthy depth, finishing long, structured and finely detailed with excellent poise and ageing potential.

Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2022 Albino Rocca Barbaresco Cottà is a superb cru Barbaresco — refined, savoury and beautifully structured with outstanding depth and finesse. Perfect with truffle dishes, braised meats, mushroom risotto, roast duck or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar through 2048+.

About the region

Piedmont · Barbaresco

Piedmont, or Piemonte, sits in Italy's north-west under the Alps. Its great grape is Nebbiolo, which ripens late, is often picked in autumn fog, and reaches its fullest expression in the Langhe hills at Barolo and Barbaresco. Those wines are pale and firmly tannic when young, and turn to tar, dried rose and truffle with age. Alongside them Barbera and Dolcetto supply the everyday reds, and Moscato d'Asti the sweet, lightly sparkling whites.
