Tenuta Rocca Alta Langa DOCG 2019
Italy, Piedmont
Case of 6
Save $-215.94
Description
Deep straw yellow colour. The aromas, on the nose, unfold on a blend of dried fruit and lightly toasted bread, wild flowers. In the mouth the entrance is full and rich; then slightly aromatic notes emerge carried by a fine and acidic foam. The dense perlage contributes to the creamy sensations.
REVIEW
Rated 89, Monica Larner, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, August 24 2023
"Here's a new submission from Tenuta Rocca, the latest Piedmont estate to join the exciting work underway with sparkling wine. The 2019 Alta Langa Extra Brut (disgorged in 2022) pours forth with thick foam and shows a crystalline appearance. Made with 60% Pinot Nero and 40% Chardonnay, the wine is lean and citrusy with grapefruit, quince and unripe peach. Salty mineral notes give this sparkler an extra point of sharpness on moderate length. Some 3,000 bottles were made."
