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)

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

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.
