Tasting notes

'La Rocca' is golden yellow in the glass, with intense, concentrated perfumes that follow through to the palate. On the nose, classic 'La Rocca' aromas of nuts and exotic fruits lead to an elegant and beautifully balanced palate, with notes of spice and a light minerality on the long finish.

Vintage information

The 2021 vintage was of excellent quality, with 25% less production than 2020. The season started mild and dry, followed by abundant rainfall in December which helped build up water reserves. Prolonged below-average temperatures over the spring caused slow and stunted bud burst, followed by high temperatures in June which necessitated emergency irrigation in some vineyards. The variability of the weather in July affected flowering and fruit set, but August and early September proved much more stable, with warm and dry conditions that allowed the grapes to ripen fully prior to harvest.
