Albino Rocca, Barbaresco (Piedmont, Italy) 2010

Jun 9, 2013

By Michael Franz

 Very sexy aromas show spices and toast along with fresher, more primary notes of bright red fruit.  The texture is soft and the flavors are open and generous, with good depth and persistence, and very low overt oak.  This is a charming wine ready for current enjoyment, though it is worth remembering that young Nebbiolo-based wines that taste this good have a track record of continuing to shine for a very long time.
