Albino Rocca Barbaresco Ovello Vigna Loreto 2015

The 2015 Barbaresco Ovello Vigna Loreto is beautifully lifted in the glass. Even in this warm vintage, the Loreto retains the nerve and tension that are such signatures of this Barbaresco vineyard. Crushed flowers, dried herbs, mint and chalk are all nicely delineated in a precise, finely sculpted Barbaresco endowed with real character. Readers should plan on cellaring the 2015 for at least a few years before diving into bottles.

Vinous -- Antonio Galloni

Barbaresco. Tasted blind. Mid ruby with the beginning of orange tinges. Fine, yet rich cherry fruit nose with a little lift and a hint of oak. Finely balanced, generous mouthful of cherry and red fruit with ripe, grainy tannins. Lots of promise (Walter Speller).

Jancis Robinson score: 17.5
