The 2008 Rosso di Rocca reveals a pretty core of high-tones dried red cherries, menthol, flowers and spices. Here too, the challenging harvest has left the wine with a few hard edges that are the exception rather than the rule at this property. Rosso di Rocca is 80% Nebbiolo, 10% Barbera and 10% Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2011. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including: de Grazia Imports; tel.
