Albino Rocca Langhe Rosso di Rocca 2017

The 2017 Langhe Nebbiolo Rosso di Rocca is another gorgeous entry-level wine from Albino Rocca. With the 2017, 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 2017is a very pretty wine, but readers should expect a more potent style than in the past. The 2017 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." 90 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com
