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.
