About The Wine
The Albino Rocca Barbaresco Angelo is named in honour of the great Angelo Rocca, and it's a great wine to dedicate to someone special.
With an enticing mix of red fruits on the nose, it has amazing fruit sweetness yet is completely dry. The palate shows a medium body and softness in the mouth, again with red fruits and lots of grippy tannin. While it comes from a trickier vintage, it is a lovely wine that is drinking well right now.
With a bit more bottle age, it will develop more tertiary characters such as leather, cigar box and dried fruit, while the tannins will soften.
About Albino Rocca
Albino Rocca is one of the premier producers in Barbaresco. Their wines have an air of effortless transparency and elegance about them, showing the charms and beauty of Piemonte with traditional winemaking and great vineyards as the foundations.
Following Angelo Rocca's tragic passing in 2012, his three daughters (Daniela, Monica and Paola) have taken the estate to new heights, consistently releasing outstanding blended and single vineyard Barbarescos, and driving the quality of the Barbera and Dolcetto to new heights.
They were recently awarded “Green Experience” certification - a brand dedicated to the wines of Piedmont aiming at a collective, integrated and sustainable certification for the region. The accreditation promotes both conservation of natural resources and protection of the magnificent, rolling landscape. Its goal is an ecological viticulture achieved via natural agricultural techniques and decreased use of chemicals.
