The Bruno Rocca 2016 Barbaresco is a gorgeous wine that reveals impeccable balance, ongoing intensity and elegance, which accompany the wine from the start and continue straight through its long finish. The mouthfeel is buoyant and bright, yet there is a solid base of firm fruit and tannic backbone on the close. This is a buttoned-up and firmly etched expression of Nebbiolo from one of the most talented producers in Barbaresco. Great job, Bruno. He knocked out 15,426 of these beauties.

Starts out elegant, featuring a core of cherry and plum flavors, flanked by tobacco, tar and menthol notes. Firms up, yet an element of sweet fruit matches the grip on the finish. Best from 2022 through 2035. 1,285 cases made, 120 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
