Wine of the year! And one of the most remarkable releases from this magnificent parcel of vines. The precision and the purity of the nose is positively addictive, with notes of dried flowers, earth and mineral all coming together in this highly complex and memorable wine. The palate is elegant, delicate, and refined. A beautifully fine-grained tannic structure brings power, and the tension is exhilarating. You rarely come across a wine of this magnetism… a masterpiece! Drink from 2025 until…
“This is the second 100-point Vigna Le Rocche, following the 2015. What the former had in intensity of fruit and transparency, this has in structure and power. The purity of fruit is sensational in this young Barolo, offering blackberries, black truffle and iron. Rust too. This is so tannic and powerful with incredible structure. This may be the most structured Barolo from Bruno Giacosa I have ever tasted as a young wine. Speechless. Full-bodied and so intense, yet it remains fresh and agile. Traditional in every sense of the word, but this is clear and clean. A classic in the making. It will be in the market January 2022. Leave this for at least six to eight years. Try in 2027.” 100 Points, James Suckling
