There is something beautifully untamed about this wine, wild cherry jam and blood orange arriving with a spike of pink peppercorn and allspice that feels thrillingly alive, roses and herbs weaving through with effortless charm. The palate delivers on that generous promise, lush and plump until the tannins arrive to remind you this is Barolo after all. Drink now through 2045.

Winemaker Notes

E. Molino Barolo Bricco Rocca 2022 is an exceptional, handcrafted Nebbiolo from the prized Bricco Rocca vineyard in La Morra. Displaying a luminous ruby-red color with garnet highlights, it opens with delicate aromas of red cherries, rose petals, dried herbs, and crushed orange peel, layered over notes of leather, damp earth, and subtle sweet spice. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied, elegant, and finely balanced, combining vibrant acidity with silky yet structured tannins that carry through to a long, mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with roasted leg of lamb, braised beef, wild mushroom risotto, and aged Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
