The 2022 Albino Rocca Barbaresco Ovello Vigna Loreto is a beautifully refined and structured single-vineyard Barbaresco from the renowned Ovello cru in Barbaresco. Crafted in a classic yet polished style, the wine combines Nebbiolo’s lifted aromatics and fine tannin structure with the depth and mineral precision that define this exceptional site. 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 focused 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.
