Very nice, well made, surprisingly open, easy to enjoy, and generally delicious. But is it a tad simple for the price? Or maybe that’s just the going price for quality Barbaresco these days.

Tasted at the winery. Light to medium garnet color. The nose on this wine is floral and minerally like the Ovello but it smells distinctly sweeter and fruitier. Definitely more concentrated and structured than the Ovello too. This comes off as powerful, rich and savory with a layer of darker red fruit. Still, it is very precise and balanced with a long finish. Take your choice...One more elegant, the other more powerful...Both excellent!

Well that is a very lovely perfume to it. And more delicate on the palate. Quite fine.

Barolo Trip; 4/3/2022-4/7/2022 (Barolo): Fifth wine tasted at Albino Rocca.
Old vines, silt and clay soils. Little sand and very steep slopes.
Complex, spicy. Good value here.
