The 2006 Barbaresco Roncaglie offers up crushed raspberries, flowers and sweet spices, all of which are underpinned by firm, yet silky tannins in a quintessential expression of Nebbiolo from Barbaresco. This deceptively medium-bodied wine offers outstanding balance and tons of elegance. This isn’t an especially showy wine, but everything is simply in the right place. The 2006 Barbaresco Roncaglie is a terrific effort from Socre. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020.
