Red
Barbaresco
By Bruno Rocca, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's base Barbaresco, aged 18 months in French barrique.
Tasting notes
Deep garnet red. A broad nose of black fruit (blackberry, plum, sour cherry), slightly faded flowers (violet and rose) and spice. Warm, elegant and enveloping on the palate, very long and persistent, with a note of cocoa.
