Description
Barbaresco 2018 Bruno Rocca
Variety: Nebbiolo 100%
The color is ruby red.
On the nose the top scents immediately mark the vine and the denomination, with berries, and the classic stem fruit. By swirling the glass, the flowers follow with rose and violet and sweet spices, in particular nutmeg. Memories of bitter herbs like rhubarb also add to the whole thing. Overall, as always, clean and didactic.
In the mouth it is plentiful, with well-defined hardness, to give it drinkability and pleasantness. Excellent creaminess, expressed in velvety sensations. From the palate aromas of cocoa, cinchona and rhubarb reach the nose. Long and persistent, among the Barbareschi not from a single vineyard, it is confirmed as one of the best of the vintage.
