Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, high acidity, dry
Albino Rocca is a family estate in Barbaresco itself, on the Rabajà side of the village, and Cottà is one of its cru bottlings — a south-facing hillside in the neighbouring commune of Neive, known for giving Nebbiolo more flesh and darker fruit than the leaner Barbaresco crus. The house works in a middle register, neither austerely traditional nor oak-driven, and the wine shows it: dried cherry and rose petal over tar, leather and tobacco, with the ferrous, blood-orange edge good Neive fruit carries. Full-bodied, high in both acid and tannin, and built for the table rather than the aperitif hour.
Serving: Serve at 16–18 °C.
