The 2011 Barbaresco Roncaglie offers straightforward aromas of milk chocolate, blueberry, leather and wet earth. Summer heat forced a rapid ripening of fruit and the bouquet is less nuanced and complex as a result. There’s a textured quality to the mouthfeel with a point of sour cherry on the close. Drink: 2015-2022.
