Bruno Rocca 2013 Barbaresco "Coparossa" DOCG 750ml

The 2012 Barbaresco Coparossa has a bit more tannic backbone and bite than the Rabajà today. At the same time, the color, mid-weight structure and overall flavor profile hints at a wine that will evolve at a relatively rapid pace. Scents of orange peel, red stone fruits, herbs and white pepper add shades of dimension. I especially like the way the 2012 puts on weight and gains in precision with air.
