Reviews

Wine Spectator – “Fleshy and laced with cherry, plum, eucalyptus and earth flavors, this red is balanced, solidly built and long. Lively, with an aftertaste infused with cherry, currant, mineral and leafy accents. Best from 2025.” (93 Pts)

Vinous – “The 2019 Albino Rocca Barbaresco is a very pretty, intensely aromatic wine. Dried herbs, rose petal, blood orange, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and sweet dried cherry all grace this attractive, mid-weight Barbaresco from the Meruzzano cru. Drink it over the next decade or so. I would give this a good bit of air first, though.” (91 Pts)
