"Enticing floral, cherry, strawberry and spice notes introduce this elegant red. Firms up on the palate, with dusty tannins lining the long finish. Best from 2017 through 2027. 2,500 cases made. -BS"

"Enticing aromas of perfumed berry, rose petal, scorched earth and spice lead the nose. On the palate, bracing tannins and bright acidity support crunchy strawberry, black cherry, clove and licorice. This is still all wound up and needs time to open. Drink 2018–2028. -KO"

Product Description:

"Deep garnet red, exuberant and complex aromas of blackberries, spices, brush, rosehip and violet. A "classic" Barbaresco with the elegance of a Roncaglie cru: rich, enveloping and intense in the mouth. Personality and pleasantness with a long finish of velvety tannins, and great ageing potential. It is a great wine for any part of the meal, which goes well with red meats and feathered game.

Tenuta Roncaglia has always been recognized as one of the most prestigious and important Barbaresco production areas (also mentioned by Lorenzo Fantini in his book "Monograph on Viticulture and Oenology in the Province of Cuneo"1880). Alessandro Masnaghetti writes in his “Map of Barbaresco Cru, 1994: "...the position of Roncaglie, together with Roncagliette, is one of the best we can see on the side of the hill that begins at Roccalini and rises towards Treiso...". And Daniel Thomases, in the Wine Spectator of January 1995: "Roncaglie is recognized as one of the best locations in the entire Barbaresco area"." - Winery
