Tasting notes
The 2000 Barolo Rocche does full justice to one of La Morra’s most important vineyards. Powerful and balsamic notes of red fruit, anise, and roses give way to ripe, dense, and velvety flavors, more concentrated than those of the Barolo Arbarella but suppler, smoother, and more sensual as well. The wine should easily last another dozen years. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 398-5871

Full ruby-red. Musky aromas of dark berries, maraschino cherry and nutty oak. Lush, sweet and deep; more exotic than the Albarella, with liqueur-like flavors of berries and black cherry. Quite large-scaled for a Barolo from La Morra. Really saturates the palate with fruit. Finishes long and rich, with big, ripe tannins.
