Great store. It's the only place I can find this wine that I had while in Europe. Unfortunately, I bought the last 4 bottles. I hope they get more. I was actually going to purchase more if they had it.

They are excellent to do business with. Organized and easy to order online from. The only issue I find is when I search on line and generalize my search, like fortified wine it will show no results. Also I would like to be able to request a specific wine, in this case, Blandy's 10 year Malmsey madeira. I haven't found an easy way to communicate that. But other than this they have been excellent. Thank you.

2021 Albino Rocca Vigneto Ronchi (750ml)

Nebbiolo from Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy

B-21 Top Recommendation

"I was deeply impressed with the 2021 Barbarescos at Albino Rocca. The wines are aromatic, vibrant and bristling with site character ... More than anything else, these wines are defined by superb purity." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

For four generations, the Rocca family has been producing stupendous Barbarescos from several of the region's most prized holdings. The late Angelo Rocca had propelled the estate to prominence over the past few decades, and his untimely death left a huge void in the Barbaresco landscape, but his three daughters have admirably carried on his visionary winemaking and track record, which is on full display in this duo of 2021s.

The fun starts with the appellation Barbaresco that notched 94 points from Wine Advocate's Monica Larner, who dubbed it "a big surprise ... fresh and bright, showing enormous focus and purity," but the real showstopper is a single-cru masterpiece that checks every box. Ronchi is the family's most historic and important cru, with some vines approaching 75 years old. The southeast exposure and marl limestone soils, resulting in a "vivid, sculpted Barbareso [that] is hugely promising," according to Galloni.

These are unequivocally wines of superior class and sophistication that Piedmont enthusiasts will want to own in quantity, but they're also quite limited. This parcel is all we're going to get at pre-tariff pricing, so the time to load up is now.

Another beauty from Albino Rocca, the full-bodied 2021 Ronchi offers enticing scents of new leather, wild herb, dark spice, camphor and dog rose. It’s succulent and delicious, delivering strawberry compote, cherry, mocha and truffle that dance across the palate. Velvety tannins and fresh acidity keep it balanced while a salty mineral note lingers on the close. A fantastic wine. Drink 2026–2033.

96 points, Kerin O'Keefe

The 2021 Barbaresco Ronchi comes across as a bit youthfully austere relative to some of the other wines in the range. Chalk, mint, white pepper, scorched earth and strong mineral notes infuse the Ronchi with tremendous power to match its sinewy, driving personality. This vivid, sculpted Barbaresco is hugely promising.

95 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Oct 2024)

The Albino Rocca 2021 Barbaresco Ronchi shows a dusty mineral quality that adds to the elegance of the bouquet. Beyond that, you get nicely ripened Nebbiolo fruit with wild cherry and redcurrant. It fleshes out over the palate with tart flavors and chalky tannins. Production is 9,000 bottles.

94 points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate (Jan 2025)

A supple, elegant and linear red, boasting strawberry, cherry, rose and menthol flavors, with balance and a long, slightly austere finish. This takes an hour and a half to open right now, so give it a few years in the bottle. Best from 2028 through 2045. 650 cases made, 300 cases imported.

94 points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator (Dec 2024)

Red berries, orange peel, dried lavender and crushed stones on the nose. Medium-bodied, restrained and polished, with a dusty texture to its tannins. Dry and a little chalky at the end. Try from 2027.

93 points, James Suckling (Apr 2024)
