The 2022 Albino Rocca Barbaresco Montersino is a beautifully refined single-vineyard Barbaresco from one of the region’s most respected family estates. Sourced from the prized Montersino cru in San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, the wine combines Nebbiolo’s lifted aromatics and fine structure with impressive depth and mineral precision. The nose reveals red cherry, dried rose and wild strawberry layered alongside orange peel, sweet spice and delicate earthy notes, giving the wine elegance and complexity.
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 subtle earthy depth, finishing long, poised and finely structured with excellent tension and ageing potential.
