Today Rocca’s Angelo is simply one of the greatest wines of the region and the 2020 is another blinder. Angelo, an homage to the father of Daniela, Paola and Monica (his three daughters who today run the estate) is a small blend of fruit from selected parcels across the Estate. But it’s also a celebration of Angelo’s father, Albino, founder of the estate and a winemaker who made very traditional styles. That is why the style of production here is so classical: the grapes spent up to 30-40 days on skins (using a submerged cap) in a large-format, wooden fermenter from Stockinger. The wine then spends 24 months in a single 2,000-litre cask.
The 2020 is super impressive. From a balanced season, this is just a wonderful, complex wine that’s in a great place. It’s showing brilliantly already, with fine tannins and a complex, layered and long palate. When we recall that this was the vintage that Rocca family made a Ronchi Riserva (because the quality was so good) we shouldn’t be surprised that this Angelo release is a killer.
Overt and ripe on the nose with watermelon, strawberries, rhubarb and sweet violets. Medium-bodied and delicate on the palate, this has velvety, integrated tannins and overall freshness.
