Region: Barbaresco, Piedmont
Variety: Nebbiolo
Vintage: 2020
Country: Italy
The Wine
Ronchi is one of Barbaresco’s prized crus, producing Nebbiolo of aromatic lift and structural depth. The Rocca family has farmed this site for generations, emphasising low yields and precision viticulture.
Fermented traditionally with extended maceration and aged in large oak botti, the 2020 reflects the estate’s classical style — restrained oak, firm tannin architecture and terroir clarity.
Cellared Says
Dried rose, red cherry and crushed stone over a fine-boned yet persistent frame. A classical Barbaresco with a longer ageing potential to many of the 2020’s.
Wine Reviews
“The 2020 Barbaresco Ronchi stands out in this range for its breadth and textural resonance. There's gorgeous palate presence. Sweet red plum, blood orange, spice, new leather and incense fill out the layers. It’s a compelling wine in every way, and one that handles its alcohol quite well.”
95 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
“This is red-fruited and floral with citrus peel, rose petals and some undergrowth notes. Medium-bodied, polished and delicate with fine tannins and fresh cherry-fruit in the middle. Very attractive.”
