Barolo ‘san Rocco’ D.o.c.g.

Overview

A cuirassier. Fleshy, extremely focused. Here Serralunga d’Alba is present with signs of licorice, spices, and dark fruits. Cherry, currant, and blueberry melt harmoniously together.

Velvety and sweetly ripe, with splendidly integrated tannins. San Rocco gives an impression of great power and austerity with incredible aging potential.
Pure complexity. A strong character. Monumental.
