The 2007 Roero Mompissano is another fabulous wine from Ca- Rossa. This shows superb richness and density in a bold style for Roero. Ripe, juicy fruit, sweet spices and French oak meld together beautifully in this expressive Roero. The aromas and flavors are just a touch forward, which suggests the Mompissano may be an early maturing wine, but I doubt that will be much of an issue as most of the bottles will have been drunk and enjoyed long before that is an issue. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019.
I was deeply impressed with these new releases from Ca- Rossa. The Roeros in particular are stunningly beautiful.
