Albino Rocca Barbaresco Cottà Barbaresco 2017
Piedmont, ItalyThe small Cottà vineyard is located in the municipality of Neive and has been part of the Rocca family since the 1970s. The vineyard soil is a mix of marl, limestone, light clay, and sand, over a warm southwest exposure. Post ferment, it spends at least 20 months in German and Austrian oak casks. It was first vinified separately in 2015 and is considered part of the historic Barbaresco area's soul. The 2017 opens with inviting floral wild berry notes. Fragrant, savoury and elegant, it brings a whole new meaning to Barbaresco. The finish is fresh and juicy with more dark cherry and spices throughout a long persistent finish. I love the balance here; drink or hold over the next five years.Tasted: 24 October 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $85.55 | 750ml | estimated price |
