Poderi Colla Description
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.
Tasting note: 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. It is a great wine for the whole meal, and it perfectly pairs with red meats and feathered game.
Vinous: 88 Points
The 2019 Barbaresco Roncaglie comes across as light and fleeting, even within the context of Barbaresco. Dried flowers, herbs, dried cherry cedar and sweet pipe tobacco are nicely lifted, but there is just not much depth or complexity here. The wine's light structure and dried out fruit exposes tannins that are edgy and not as refined as is the norm in this typically outstanding Barbaresco from the Colla family.
