(6x75cl) 1998The Bruno Rocca Barbaresco Rabaja 1998 exemplifies the pinnacle of Nebbiolo craftsmanship from the esteemed Barbaresco region in Piedmont. Meticulously vinified, the grapes were handpicked from prime vineyards and subjected to a traditional fermentation process, followed by extensive ageing in French oak barrels for 24 months. Bruno Rocca, renowned for his dedication to quality and terroir expression, delivers a wine of exceptional complexity and elegance. The 1998 vintage presents a deep garnet hue, unveiling aromas of ripe cherries, subtle truffles, and delicate floral notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet refined, with velvety tannins and a lingering finish that reflects its remarkable ageing potential. This illustrious vintage is a testament to Bruno Rocca’s expertise and the enduring charm of Barbaresco wines, making it a distinguished addition to any fine wine collection.

Packaged with the black label, the Bruno Rocca 2013 Barbaresco Maria Adelaide pours from the bottle with a medium garnet color and an elegantly compact appearance. The bouquet has moved away from primary intensity to embrace some beautiful tertiary definition; however, it appears lively and bright nonetheless. This special bottling (made with a selection of the estate's best fruit) shows lots of the proverbial red fruit energy (as opposed to dark fruit) that is so specific to Nebbiolo. Maria Adelaide undergoes a more drawn out oak regime with 18 months in barrique followed by another 12 months in oak casks. A mere 3,000 bottles exist.HK$2,585.00 -

The Bruno Rocca 2021 Barbaresco Currà has a savory side with a uniquely ferrous or rusty signature. It accompanies elegant fruit, black cherry and wild plum. This is a delicate wine, expertly made, that reveals a combination of firmness and tension on the long finish. This 3,000-bottle release comes from a vineyard site celebrated for is southwest exposures and clay limestone soils mixed with sandstone. At 40 years old, the vines are getting up there in complexity.HK$5,423.00 -

The 2018 Barbaresco Currà comes across as light in body, with limited depth and slightly aggressive tannins, all of which are the result of an extremely challenging growing season. The aromatics and overall energy are enticing in the 2018, a wine that is likely to offer its best drinking over the next handful of years.HK$3,685.00 -

The 2020 Barbaresco is a terrific entry-level wine from Bruno Rocca, if that term can even be used here. The warm growing season yielded a Barbaresco with lovely forward fruit, silky tannins and tons of upfront appeal. It’s an ideal wine for restaurants or consumers looking for something delicious to drink with minimal cellaring. The 2020 spent 11 months in oak, quite a bit less than the 16-18 of the past, which preserves a good deal of freshness.HK$2,965.00 -

The 2019 Barbaresco is a fabulous wine at its level. It offers striking depth and intensity. Layered and racy in the glass, the 2019 possesses tremendous depth and tons of pedigree. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, spice, mint and white pepper all grace this wonderfully expressive Barbaresco. Vineyard sites are Currà, Fausoni, younger vines in Rabajà and San Cristoforo. The 2019 was aged 70% in cask and 30% in small woodHK$2,300.00 -

The 2018 Barbaresco is a pretty, delicate wine to drink now and over the next few years. Crushed flowers, sweet dried cherry, mint and cedar are nicely laced together. Ultimately, the 2018 is a bit light in depth and concentration. I would prefer to drink it over the next few years.HK$2,125.00 -

The 2023 Roero Arneis is a bright silver/yellow color, and the nose is fresh and savory, with notes of white peaches, melon rind, lemon oils, and light savory chive notes. Perfectly suited for pairing alongside crudo and vitello tonnato, this medium-bodied white is refreshing and spritely, with a touch of white pepper and a kiss of sweet fruit. It can be enjoyed over the next few years, but it’s so good now while it's fresh, there’s no need to wait.HK$1,585.00 -

The Giacosa family does a great job with its high-end wines and its entry-level products alike. The 2020 Roero Arneis is a great example of a wine that knocks out simplicity while maintaining a great sense of inner freshness and complexity. This was a great vintage for the popular Arneis white grape that shows a wide range of tropical perfumes with papaya, citrus and Williams pear. The wine also boasts rich inner fiber, good fruit weight and concentration. At this young stage, it is less defined by its inherent minerality and more defined by those exotic fruit tones. But you can expect the mineral tones to take on more importance a year or two from now.HK$1,770.00 -

I am a huge fan of this vineyard site in the Roero region. The 2016 Nebbiolo d'Alba Vigna Valmaggiore serves to encourage and confirm my enthusiasm. The Valmaggiore vineyard is home to dangerously steep rows that make farming extremely laborious. The effort is worth it, especially when you consider those delicate and nuanced berry aromas that so beautifully permeate the bouquet. Wild strawberry, cassis and blueberry are followed by pressed violet and bitter almond. Nor is the mouthfeel to be underestimated, as it provides ample structure and extra crunch on the tonic finish. This wine was bottled just three weeks prior to my tasting and is developing handsomely.HK$1,995.00 -

Roses and lavender with other flowers. Peaches. Glorious fruit of dark plums and ripe strawberries. This is dense and intense but there are layers of very fine tannins, like fine cashmere. Goes on for minutes. Opens in the mouth. Almost endless. Three years in cask and two years in bottle before January 2023 release. Give this at least five to six years.HK$14,530.00 -

This is the second 100-point Vigna Le Rocche, following the 2015. What the former had in intensity of fruit and transparency, this has in structure and power. The purity of fruit is sensational in this young Barolo, offering blackberries, black truffle and iron. Rust too. This is so tannic and powerful with incredible structure. This may be the most structured Barolo from Bruno Giacosa I have ever tasted as a young wine. Speechless. Full-bodied and so intense, yet it remains fresh and agile. Traditional in every sense of the word, but this is clear and clean. A classic in the making. It will be in the market January 2022. Leave this for at least six to eight years. Try in 2027.HK$27,185.00 -

The aromas are so seductive with dried roses and berries. Tar and asphalt, too. Full bodied, very tight and powerful. Lean and long tannins. It goes on for so long. Stops and then starts over again. A curious and challenging young wine. Great. In the market in 2020. Better in 2026.HK$14,645.00 -

Italy has gone from strength to strength, with standards of winemaking improving all the time and more indigenous varietals than ever before reaching foreign markets. Every single region is a treasure trove of undiscovered gems worth exploring, while the more classic wines like Barolo and Brunello di Montalcino have more than caught up in quality with their French counterparts without catching up in price. A dizzying array of style and a natural affinity with food means there is really no need to look any further no matter the occasion.
