Le Rocche del Falletto Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo

Medium ruby , quite wide ruby garnet rim . Really red fruited , aromatic and still quite primary . Slightly spiced red cherry , strawberry , raspberry . On the palate this has sweet red fruits , quite polished tannin and fresh acidity. Spiced cherry , rose water tinged finish of good length . Quite sweetly fruited . This is quite user friendly in some ways , without the apparent structure I was expecting . Overall it’s a enjoyable wine, but perhaps a little simplistic at the moment , maybe more will come with time ? So from now and over the next 10 -15 years perhaps ? — 9 days ago

Bruno Rocca

Rabajà Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2007

The Rocca family makes Barbaresco wines today from various places, but their Rabajà vineyard is a PRIZED family heirloom, first acquired by Luisa and Francesco’s grandfather in the 1950s. The Nebbiolo vines now have an average age of 50-60 years. 🍇

Here we have the 2007 Bruno Rocca ‘Rabajà’ which is pale garnet in appearance.  Nebbiolo can make unexpectedly pale wines, despite having such a strong structure of tannins & acidity that provide runway for aging in the bottle 👀

As a ‘Barbaresco DOCG’, we know this wine was legally required to undergo extensive aging before release, softening tannins and lending complexity through secondary characteristics. 🪵

Indeed, this wine is layered in aromas and flavors including fig, red plum, black cherry, pomegranate, potpourri, rose, dried orange peel, black licorice, sandalwood, vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom, clove, star anise, tobacco, cigar, forest floor, mushroom, and leather.  It’s gorgeous and in an amazing place 😍

Cheers to the talented Rocca family and the deliciousness of this Rabajà Nebbiolo expression!!

Le Rocche del Falletto di Serralunga d'Alba Barolo Nebbiolo 1999

Mature but still with legs. Earthy, mushrooms, weighty. Solid but a bit underperforming for me. — 2 months ago
