Albino Rocca Barbaresco Cottà DOCG 2015

Here in its first release, 2015 Barbaresco Cottà, shows the natural breadth of this vineyard in Neive. There has a real sense of weight and gravitas that distinguishes the Cottà in this range. I would give the 2015 at least a few years in bottle to fully come together. This is certainly an auspicious debut. The Cottà could very well be a new star in the range.

Vinous -- Antonio Galloni

Neive. Just mid ruby. Focused nose of raspberry, cherry and minerals. A little backward on the palate, yet supple, concentrated and finely balanced and with a thick layer of fine, powdery tannins. Elegant but still embryonic. (Walter Speller)
