Review
The 2016 Langhe Nebbiolo Rosso di Rocca is another gorgeous entry-level wine from Albino Rocca. With the 2016, the Rosso di Rocca is a Langhe Nebbiolo, with the Nebbiolo coming from a newly acquired parcel in Magliano Alfieri, in Roero. What comes through is a relatively powerful, broad expression of Nebbiolo, with dark tonalities of fruit and a fair bit of brawn. The 2016 is a very pretty wine, but readers should expect a more potent style than in the past. The 2016 was done with short macerations and aged entirely in steel. Even so, it has quite a bit of tannic clout. This is a serious wine at its level.

Review
A burst of bright cherry marks this young, fruity red, accented by light earth and tobacco notes, but the emphasis is clearly on the fruit. Fine length. Drink now through 2024.

Review
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, aMordable Piedmont red. Drink it over the next few years.
