Barbaresco Ronchi

Full

Cork

A lifted floral nose gives way to balsamic herbs and the palate hints at earthy depths. Tight, dense tannins with crisp acidity make for quite a chiselled offering. Purchased fruit from the east-facing Ronchi MGA usually goes into Fletcher’s Recta Pete blend. However, in 2022 this lot stood out sufficiently to merit a separate label. I tasted Fletcher’s Barbaresco lineup directly post-bottling and this was the most disjointed and aloof. However, all the elements are in place to come together. I look forward to revisiting it after a few more months in bottle.
