‘Le Rocche’ refers to a particular area within the Falletto vineyard, specifically a parcel that is notable for the quality of its grapes. This Barolo is typically a structured and complex expression of Nebbiolo, often showcasing floral and red fruit aromas, along with a complex palate rich with tannins and well-balanced acidity. As with many of Bruno Giacosa`s wines, ‘Le Rocche’ is known for its exceptional aging potential. Given time, the 2019 vintage should evolve beautifully in the bottle, developing more nuanced secondary and tertiary flavours.
