Description
Indisputably one of Serralunga’s greatest wines, the conspicuously red labelled Le Rocche Riserva is a vineyard selection from the Faletto Cru’s sweet spot. As traditional as it gets, this sees 32 months in huge Slavonian oak botti, before a further three years ageing in bottle before release. It’s hugely intense and utterly embryonic at this point but there is a lovely vein of acidity keeping the wine balanced and vibrant despite all that power.
A bit of coaxing from the glass reveals dense, dark fruit of notable freshness with subtle mint, violet, black tea, and earthy spice. The palate is all melting minerals and tannic grip at this stage. There is clearly so much to come from this profound Riserva. Put it away for a decade, at least. Or bequeath it to future generations. What a legacy it will be!. In the last decade, we have only had Riservas of le Rocche in 2012 and 2014.
