An exceptional aroma, powerful and complex, in which one senses the remarkable ageing process, releasing smoky, toasted notes of vanilla, rounding out an essential aspect of the dark berry confit flavor, speaking to an extraordinary ripeness. These sensations are confirmed on the palate, intense, penetrating, exuberant and consistent, with a fine structure and breeding… perfectly constructed. The acidity and tannins are elegantly expressed.

Prezzo: 14 €


A humble wine on paper that behaves nobly in the mouth, exceptionally well in fact, perhaps even unbeatably so when the price is considered. Very characteristic in both the nose and on the palate, distinctly merlot as one might expect from a cabernet sauvignon or cabernet franc, with a certain rustic identity and ripe tannins that need polishing though they are not overly aggressive, with a well formed body. Expressively fruity, releasing sensations of dark, wild, ripe berries.
100% Merlot. Aged for 12 months in oak barrels, 50% new.

With this legendary label this prestigious winery expresses the countless marvels of the characteristics of cabernet sauvignon in Chile, where a few vineyards replete with evident Bordelaise inspiration, though not exempt of their own identity, give birth to this wine. Extraordinarily fruity, very clean, with notes of wild red berries, blackberries, blackcurrants… as well as vegetal elements – dried herbs and tobacco leaves… intoxicatingly charming and complex. The fruit is confirmed on the palate with a smooth bitterness and hints of almonds, with sweet tannins and the common denominator of refinement and substance.

In a true expression of artisan ideals, Bruno Rocca, both vintner and wine merchant, has become one of the great icons of Barbaresco alongside Gaja. Not quite reaching the magnificence of the 2001, which was among the most elite worldwide, this 2003 confirms his passion for the vine and his knowledge of what to do with it. It has enormous strength, character and substance. The raw materials are there, beautifully structured with knowledge. Its bouquet of fruits, flowers and wood is in perfect balance, in tune. Forest, licorice, balsam, spices are evoked here. Robust, with notable quality throughout, and a tannic, complex character. It personifies the region, land and vintner.
