Winemaker Giancarlo Rocca has cultivated Barbaresco’s noble Nebbiolo grape on these gentle hills as long as he can remember -- and today, his children play hide and seek among vines that someday will be theirs to tend. This is a classic Barbaresco, with silky fruit, wonderful concentration and suave tannins. Enjoy it today for its enchanting personality; stash a few bottles away and savor its slow, beautiful evolution. A traditional Barbaresco wine, pure Nebbiolo and aged for two years in large (20HL) Slavonian casks (‘botti’). A very smart cellar decision, dollar for dollar!

Lighter tannins, and softer. But boy does it pack a nose! Dark cherries, figs, leather and wood. Nice long fruity finish.
