I was deeply impressed with the 2021 Barbarescos at Albino Rocca. The wines are aromatic, vibrant and bristling with site character. Carlo Castellengo gave the 2021s three to four weeks on the skins. A few of the wines see submerged cap maceration, including the new Riserva Ronchi and the Angelo (which has no new release this year)—the wines age for just under two years in cask prior to bottling. More than anything else, these wines are defined by superb purity.
