Descrizione

The Barolo Bricco Rocca DOCG by Ballarin is an authentic tribute to the UNESCO heritage hills of Piedmont, a historic and renowned area for the production of one of Italy's most prestigious red wines. This Barolo is made from carefully selected Nebbiolo grapes, reflecting the expressiveness of the terroir of Serralunga d’Alba, with calcareous-clayey soils that provide structure and elegance.

After traditional fermentation, the wine patiently ages in large wooden barrels, revealing a balanced alcoholic texture and elegant tannins. On the nose, complex notes of withered roses, ripe red fruits, licorice, and sweet spices unfold. On the palate, the tannic presence is vigorous yet refined, with a persistent finish that invites long moments of tasting. Perfectly paired with meat dishes, roasts, and aged cheeses, this Barolo tells the greatness and uniqueness of Piedmont's noblest side.
