Expert Reviews
The Albino Rocca 2021 Barbaresco is a big surprise. This wine is fresh and bright, showing enormous focus and purity on the bouquet. There is impressive complexity too with crushed limestone, blue flower and bright cassis. I have not tasted this wine in a while and wonder where they've been hiding this beauty. Fruit comes from Meruzzano, Cottà and the youngest vines in Ronchi. Production is 13,000 bottles. (Wine Advocate, January 2025)
A floral style, showing roses and violets at the forefront as well as pomegranate and a slightly peppery character. Medium-bodied, it shows fierce, fresh structure with chewy tannins and a spicy finish. Focused on youthfulness. Try from 2026. (James Suckling, January 2025)
The 2021 Barbaresco is stellar. Floral and savory overtones are beautifully defined in a lifted, chiseled Barbaresco that shows the Albino Rocca house style at its best. Vineyard sites are Meruzzano and Ronchi. A wine of delicacy and understatement, the 2021 is a delight. This is what Barbaresco is all about. (Vinous, September 2024)
