Tasting Notes

The 2016 Barbaresco Cottà shows all the density and power that is typical of this site in Neive, qualities that are further amplified by the smaller cask used for this tiny production bottling. Dark cherry, plum, graphite, licorice, spice and menthol add to an impression of gravitas in this powerful, muscular Barbaresco from Albino Rocca.

Score: 94

Dark cherry/plum fruit and spice notes flesh out in the 2016 Barbaresco Cottà. Pliant and supple, with terrific depth and power, the Cottà is shaping up be absolutely terrific.

Dried strawberries, tea leaves, cedar and dried spices make for an enticing prospect. The full-bodied palate, meanwhile, has a regal core of tannin power, punctuated by mouthwatering acidity. Medium-long on the finish. Drink from 2023.

The 2016 Barbaresco Cottà is a nicely executed wine with linear and crisp aromatic details that are all presented with purity and clarity. The wine also produces a soft and subtle side with a caressing mouthfeel that is framed by polished tannins and balanced freshness. This Barbaresco tastes great straight out of the gate. It would make a perfect companion to a porcini risotto.
