Description
Still red from Piedmont, 14.5% ABV, produced by Albino Rocca. 100% Nebbiolo. 0.75L bottle, 2022 vintage. A Barbaresco Cotta that embodies the passion and dedication of a family that has been producing excellent wines for generations, a wine born from careful vinification and an aging process that enhances its complexity. It opens with nuances of violet, red rose, and peony, then offers aromas of brandied cherries and subtle spicy hints of bitter cocoa, licorice, rhubarb, incense, and elegant cigar box sensations, resting on a fresh balsamic background. Garnet red. Elegant and fresh on the palate, excellently balanced, seasoned with pleasant savory notes and velvety tannins. The finish is very persistent, with echoes of balsamic and spice.

Thanks to the inheritance of some of our most precious vineyards in the 1960’s our grandfather was able to start what is now our winery Albino Rocca. Albino’s hard work and his strong support of our father Angelo Rocca laid the foundation that created a family winemaking tradition that has grown internationally over the years.
Our history has been built together, year by year. First through the gradual acquisition of vineyards and the production of not only Nebbiolo, but also Dolcetto and Barbera in addition to our continuous effort to evolve the quality of our Barbaresco – which starts in the vineyards and continues in the cellar.
