BAROLO 2003ROCCHE: In 2006 the bunches of Nebbiolo used to make Barolo ripened earlier than usual, so the harvest started on 16th of September (one month earlier than in 2004). All the grapes - whether grown on slopes facing SOUTH-EAST or SOUTH - SOUTH-WEST – had an exceptionally high sugar content, and consequently a high degree of alcohol. The wine smells and tastes of cherries and roses. The tannins are excellent and powerful; total acidity is lower than usual.
