Angelo Rocca, who is a strong proponent of the 2000 Barbarescos, admits that the 2001s are fresher wines, with excellent balance. "The 2001 vintage was a bit like 1999, but in '99 we had even cooler nights during the weeks leading up to the harvest. The 2001s may be more elegant, while the 1999s are more austere. "Rocca has produced superconcentrated barbera from the 2003 vintage. Crop levels for barbera were in the very low 30 hectoliters-per-hectare range-lower than for Barbaresco, he noted. "The 2003 barbera is a big boy," he concluded. (Marc de Grazia; numerous importers, including Michael Skurnik Wines, Syosset, NY; Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; and Estate Wines Ltd. , San Rafael, CA)
