Description / Reviews
"Barbaresco Roncaglie is one of the first and true crus of Barbaresco, acknowledged throughout pragmatic farming history as one of the best places to produce Barbaresco. History acknowledges that the grapes from this estate have greater value than the grapes from other plots, and the reason lies in the unique vocation of the plots to give balanced, perfect grapes every year, capable of producing a Barbaresco that perfectly matches the features of elegance and harmony that this wine is supposed to have.
Deep garnet red, complex and rich aromas of blackberries, spices, undergrowth, dog rose and violets. A 'classic' Barbaresco with the elegance of the Roncaglie cru: rich, enveloping and intense in the mouth. Personality and pleasantness with a very long finish of smooth tannins, and great ageing potential." - Poderi Colla, Winemaker
"The 2021 Barbaresco Roncaglie is a terrific new release from Poderi Colla and a worthy follow-up to the sublime 2020. It is perhaps not quite as overtly expressive as its older sibling, yet I see gorgeous depth and layers of dynamic energy that are waiting to unfold. Macerated red cherry, blood orange, spice, menthol and dried flowers all race across the palate. There's a level of purity here that is just beguiling." - 94+ Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
