The superlative cru of Ronchi is Barbaresco's smallest, and the wines from this tiny two-hectare plot tend toward the richer, spicier, darker side of Barbaresco. The vineyard is owned by Giancarlo Rocca, and only Giancarlo and other members of the Rocca clan have access to this superior fruit. We are indeed fortunate to have several vintages from both Giancarlo and Albino, and this 2005 is rounding into top form as of November, 2020.
