Albino Rocca Description
ALBINO ROCCA
Barbaresco 2018
94 points | $50 | 300 cases imported | Red
"A beam of pure cherry is the hallmark of this round, supple red. Floral, mint, mineral and tobacco notes add depth as this unfolds gracefully to a lingering finish. This is firmly structured, yet balanced, with an aftertaste of fruit and wild herbs, tar and a chalky feel. Best from 2024 through 2040." —B.S.

"This Barbaresco seems to epitomise the 2018 vintage: tantalising aromas of fresh cranberry, violet, rose petal and whiffs of tar lead to a soft attack full of delicacy, freshly fruited and wrapped up in sweet, crunchy tannins and vibrant acidity. It's not particularly concentrated or built for the long haul, but its balance and stylish character make it one of the most authentic representations of the vintage in Barbaresco." Aldo Fiordelli
