Vietti’s 2008 Barolo Rocche is once again stellar. What a wine. Intensely aromatic and racy, with beautifully layered fruit, the 2008 is a superb example of this great Barolo vintage. Sweet red cherry, plum, hard candy and spices give the 2008 much of its perfumed, silky personality.

I have had the 2008 Barolo Rocche many times over the last few years and it has never been anything less that impressive. Above all else, the 2008 seems to still be growing. Intensely sweet and nuanced, the 2008 is utterly captivating. The greatness of some vintages is immediately evident. Others take a bit more time to fully reveal themselves. My impression is that the 2008 Rocche is still on the ascent. Tonight, it is one of the most magnificent wines at the table.
Vietti’s 2008 Barolo Rocche is another wine that captivates the entire room, me included. The most sensual, perfumed bouquet imaginable emerges as the Rocche shows off its personality. What a wine. Elegant and refined throughout, the 2008 is positively explosive right out of the bottle. This is the best showing yet for the 2008 Rocche.
The 2008 Barolo Rocche shows the best balance of fruit and structure among the 2008 Baroli. Sweet, silky tannins frame expressive dark red fruit in the 2008 Rocche. This is an especially structured, powerful style for the Rocche, and a true testament to the level of conviction at Vietti. The Rocche turns sweeter and more sensual with time in the glass. The tannins possess remarkable finesse. This could be used to teach a class on the greatness of the Rocche vineyard. It is dazzling from start to finish.
