The 2022 Albino Rocca Barbaresco Ronchi is a beautifully elegant and finely structured single-vineyard Barbaresco from the prestigious Ronchi cru in Barbaresco. Crafted in a refined traditional style, the wine combines Nebbiolo’s lifted aromatics and savoury complexity with the finesse and mineral precision that define this celebrated site. The nose reveals red cherry, dried rose and wild strawberry layered alongside orange peel, sweet spice and subtle earthy notes, giving the wine impressive fragrance and detail.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, chalky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and beautifully pure red berry fruit. Layers of cherry, cranberry and savoury spice are balanced by mineral freshness and gentle earthy depth, finishing long, poised and finely textured with excellent balance and ageing potential.

Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2022 Albino Rocca Barbaresco Ronchi is a superb cru Barbaresco — elegant, savoury and beautifully refined with excellent structure 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.
