Eraldo Viberti – Rocchettevino 2014 – Barolo

The nose is finely tight, flowery and offers a small power as well as a good finesse of the grain. It reveals notes of flowers (cornflower, lilac), blackberry and small notes of wild red fruits associated with small touches of zan, fine hints of Cuben pepper, copse and an imperceptible balsamic hint (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, racy, well-built and offers a juicy/mineral frame, a good definition, a good structure as well as suavity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy raspberry and fleshy/juicy bigarreau cherry associated with small touches of violet plum, lilac, cornflower as well as discreet hints of mild tobacco and a very discreet hint of copse. Tannins are well-built. There is a very discreet chew on the finish.
