NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Rocca Giovanni Barolo is a prestigious Italian red wine hailing from the Barolo region in Piedmont.On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of dried roses, violets, and red fruits, accompanied by earthy notes of truffle, tar, and tobacco. These aromas are often complemented by subtle hints of spices such as cinnamon and anise.
On the palate, Rocca Giovanni Barolo showcases a full-bodied and robust character, with firm tannins that provide structure and longevity. The wine's high acidity adds freshness and balance, while the intense flavors of ripe cherries, plums, and berries create a harmonious and complex profile. With age, the fruit flavors tend to evolve into more dried and stewed fruit characteristics.
It is recommended to decant the wine before serving to allow it to breathe and soften its tannins. When paired with food, this Barolo pairs wonderfully with rich and hearty dishes such as braised meats, game, and aged cheeses.
