Ya, beautiful rosé, beefy, slightly nutty/oxidative and slightly saline. Peaches and rhubarb on the nose. Orange peel on the palate. In 2018, 60% Garnacha, 40% Tempranillo. Cold season.
So nice to have this when LdH is getting too heady $$$$
Thanks to Maria José,s husband, Jose Luis.

Our first encounter with the Piëmont Region in early 2000’s. Little did we know, but these two very modest brothers wanted to do a bit different from the other traditionalist. Now this wine shows that keeping wine can prove very benificial. All typical barolo characterisation fits on this wine. Lots of roses and tar, leather, herbes. Very silky smooth tanine. Barolo too the max. — 3 years ago

I did not know this grape variety before this bottle. Nascetta is native to Langhe and was only revived in the mid 90’s.

Nose is quite aromatic and has somewhat unusual combination of peach, kiwi, banana peel, honeysuckle, light fresh herbs and hint of jasmine. Medium acidity and round mouth feel. Finish is clean but a bit short.

Can’t really come up with an analogy between Nascetta and other white grape variety. — 10 months ago

Lot No. 16 - don’t know exactly what the “lot #s” mean, and the website is under construction. Vintage? But it isn’t a vintage or LBV. Predominant year in the blend? Bottled in 2018. I found this really unusual, in a good way, for a ruby port. It has a dusky, dry tannic character. But silky smooth. Reminds me of tea and raisins, and maybe dried blueberries. Really like this. — 4 years ago

My first experience with Cascina Roccalini was last year with the 2013 vintage and I was hugely impressed so I was very excited to try the 2014 version. Popped and poured; initially bright ruby in the glass but became noticeably darker, turning to garnet after about fifteen minutes. The nose on the 2014 Roccalini was opulent; far and away the freshest and most interesting of the group in the first couple of hours with beautiful, ripe cherries, bruised red delicious apples, tar, baking spices and roses. So much pleasure! After about hour three, the roses gave way for Easter Lilies...which I can't ever recall in a red wine before. However, around hour five, the Roccalini started to fall apart and the finish became watery and thin which is exactly what happened to the 2014 "Sori Paitin"; further reinforcing my feeling that the 2014's will be a vintage to enjoy while they are younger and preferably within the first couple hours of being open. Drink now or before 2022. — 5 years ago
