Pre-Arrival – Due Early March

 

“The 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo Rosso di Rocca is a blend mostly of Nebbiolo from Roero with a touch of Cabernet Franc left over from the experimental days in Piedmont. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, spice, lavender and dried herbs all grace this exquisite, affordable Piedmont red. Drink it over the next few years.” 92 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

 

Rocco di Rocca is 97% Nebbiolo with a smattering of Cabernet Franc. The Nebbiolo hails from a vineyard at Magliano Alfieri in the first hills of the Roero region. The vines were planted in 1967 and 2002, and the family purchased the parcel in 2016. The Cabernet Franc comes from 20-year-old estate vines in Barbaresco. Roero’s sandy soils gift a lighter, brighter, earlier-drinking wine than the Rocca Nebbiolo d’Alba—a Nebbiolo party in a glass. The wine’s upbringing (solely in tank) and early bottling helps keep to this theme.
