The 2007 Barolo Vigneto Rocche strikes a beautiful balance between the juicy style of the vintage and the vibrant well-delineated aromatics that are typical of this historic vineyard. Dark red fruit licorice minerals and French oak are some of the nuances that flow from the glass as the Rocche shows off its considerable pedigree. The Rocche comes across as more vibrant and ageworthy than the Rocche. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027. -Antonio Galloni
