The vineyard
Barolo Denominazione di origine controllata e garantita San Rocco
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, austerity, with an incredible aging potential.
Pure complexity. A strong character. Monumental.
