Deltetto Barbera d'Alba Rocca delle Marasche 04

Deltetto Barbera d'Alba Rocca delle Marasche 04 - Three Glasses from Italy's Gambero Rosso

"Barbera Rocca delle Marasche 2004, from fruit harvested slightly later than usual, shot through to the finals where its monumental nose and magisterial combination of acidity, fruit and alcohol stunned the judges. Three Glasses was the verdict."

Only available as part of the Barbera sampler. Heftier and lengthier than their basic Barbera d'Alba, the Rocca delle Marasche unfurls scads of black, red and blue fruit flavors. Aging in French oak creates a modern-styled gem.
