Tasting note Robin Fennis: “Bricco Rocca 2012; this was a warm year, after a cold winter. Generating good acidity and slow-aging wine. This is typical and complete; meaty, rose, honey, and tar are rich in fruit tones. Med+ acids and tannins. Juicy and complex, balanced and enough structure. Med+ finish. 17 pts” (November 2024)
