Alberto BallarinBarolo Bricco Rocca 2020

About this wine

This Barolo Bricco Rocca from Alberto Ballarin is a stunning expression of Nebbiolo from one of Piedmont's most celebrated terroirs. If you're looking for a wine that combines power with elegance, this 2020 vintage will not disappoint.

On the nose, you'll find intense aromas of ripe red cherries, dried roses, and subtle hints of tar and leather. The palate is structured and bold, with firm tannins that promise excellent aging potential, balanced by bright acidity and flavors of dark berries, licorice, and earthy spices. The finish is long and complex, leaving you with a beautiful interplay of fruit and mineral notes.

This Barolo pairs beautifully with rich meat dishes like brasato al Barolo (beef braised in Barolo wine), osso buco, or aged Parmigiano-Reggiano. Decant this wine for at least 1 hour before serving to let it breathe and reveal its full complexity. Serve at a temperature between 16°C and 18°C to appreciate all its nuances.
