Ronchi Barbaresco Nebbiolo

The 2018 Barbaresco Ronchi is another gorgeous wine in this lineup from Rocca. As always, the Ronchi is a Barbaresco of breadth and power. In 2018, those qualities are expressed in a decidedly understated manner. Wild cherry, plum, sage, tobacco and menthol are all kicked up in this super-expressive Barbaresco. Hints of orange peel, spice, star anise and sweet pipe tobacco grace the layered, exquisite finish. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2022)

Vintage 2018 | Beautiful Nebbiolo with the smell of roses snd strawberry, impression of leather, frivolous, much potential

Mint, oak, sawdust

Honestly, a little disappointing. I expected more.

Slow to unravel, and while very young, it's still impressive. Kirsch, blood orange, aspirin, lavender, grated nutmeg.

Mint from a tomato salad shifted this into another gear. An excellent producer we visited at harvest 2023.

Oh. Oh my.

2011

lovely barbaresco… enjoyed with a bolognese.

2014 wasn't exactly a brilliant year for barbaresco. Medium bodied with some complexity that's a good wine with ragout. Currants and chocolate, cherry tomatoes, floral petals and a eucalyptus finish.
