Overview
Rocca’s 2004 Barbaresco normale, or “classico” as he calls it, is a lovely introduction to the vintage. It is a beautiful wine, medium ruby in color, with expressive, floral aromatics, plenty of fruit, well-integrated oak and excellent length as well as freshness.

Reviews
Wine Spectator - September 2008 - James Suckling - 94 points
Shows lots of ripe fruit on the nose, almost prune, with hints of milk chocolate. Full-bodied, with loads of fruit and a chewy mouthfeel. Big and juicy. A massive wine. Best after 2013. 400 cases made.
