WINERY: Azienda Agricola Ronchi
COUNTRY: Italy
REGION: Piemonte
APPELLATION: Barbaresco D.O.C.G
GRAPE: 100% Nebbiolo
WINEMAKER NOTES: A classic 'tar and roses' Barbaresco and a beautiful showing of what Nebbiolo can be at a superb value. The 2020 vintage was a supreme one and this is already drinkable at a young age, but capable of cellaring for many more. There is wonderful elegance here, with finely integrated tannins and that classic brick-red color that we love so much from these wines.
TASTING NOTES: Aromas of black cherries, licorice, game, light
smoke; full-bodied and concentrated yet balanced, with moderate tannins
and good length.

ABOUT THE WINERY:The Rocca family’s peerless Nebbiolo wines are still an insider’s secret, representing some of the better values in Barbaresco. This fourthgeneration vine-growing family lives, literally, in the ‘Ronchi’ vineyard, with older vines that wind around the family home and cellars. This petite valley, close to Neive, is charmed: bordered by cru ‘Montestefano’ to the north and ‘Moccagatta’ to the south, it is shaped like a perfect amphitheater, capturing the sun and giving Nebbiolo both the concentration and ripe elegance that is the hallmark of fine Barbaresco.
