The Albino Rocca Barbaresco Normale is a blend of fruit from the Ronchi, Ovello and Montersino Cru vineyards. Made from 100% Nebbiolo, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel then aged in large German and Austrian oak casks for two years, resulting in a clean, pure and refined expression of Barbaresco.

In the glass, the wine pours a brilliant light ruby color with tawny highlights. The nose is hauntingly aromatic, emitting pristine aromas of red cherry, raspberry and ripe strawberry all underpinned by a delicate combination of spice and floral notes that effortlessly waft from the glass.

Layered and elegant on the palate, the wine showcases loads of soft, satin tannins perfectly balanced by a brisk acidity and concentrated fruit flavors that deliver power and refreshment.

The finish is stunning, delivering layer upon layer of complex flavors with incredible panache and depth. This is a stellar Barbarsco Normale crafted by a small, dedicated family that puts their hear and soul into every bottle they produce.

A beautiful wine to drink now or over the next 5-10 years.
