Azienda Agricola Ronchi Barbaresco 2019
For more than four generations the Rocca family has lived in their family-built home surrounded by the vines of the ‘Ronchi’ cru in Barbaresco, sitting 960 ft above sea level. The vineyards are part of the family; winemaker Giancarlo Rocca can walk from his cellar door to his Nebbiolo vines in less than a minute. The natural landscape of their estate perfectly captures sun, pushing Nebbiolo to ideal ripeness in a stunningly picturesque setting.
Needless to say all work is performed by hand, and as sustainably as possible. No herbicides or pesticides are used. Grapes are harvested by hand from the eastern edge of the appellation and destemmed. This Barbaresco was fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks before aging in Slavonian oak casks for 2 years. All wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered. Aromas of black cherries, licorice, game, light smoke; full-bodied and concentrated yet balanced, with moderate tannins and good length. Suggested pairings include grilled red meat, pork sausage, and dishes using mushrooms.
