Albino RoccaRosso di
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Nebbiolo
About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of NebbioloExpect oodles of dark cherry, blackberry and bitter chocolate like aromas and flavours from this Nebbiolo, Barbera blend from this blend of 80% Nebbiolo, 10% Barbera and 10% Cabernet Franc blend from 100% Barbaresco vines. As it is not 100% Nebbiolo, it cannot be labelled Barbaresco. On the other hand it could be labelled Nebbiolo d'Alba, but (and here's an insight into the integrity of the man) Angelo Rocca isn't comfortable labelling any wine that isn't 100% Nebbiolo as 'Nebbiolo' even though

“The 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo Rosso di Rocca is another pretty entry-level offering from Albino Rocca. This aromatic, light-bodied Nebbiolo is a tasty every-day drinker. Sweet red cherry, blood orange and spice linger.” 88 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
