• From vineyards next to Gaja Sori Tildin!

Socre Barbaresco Roncaglie enjoys a very special provenance. It hails from ten to fifty year-old vines in a single vineyard within Roncaglie: one of the Grand Crus of Barbaresco. (Neighbors include the very popular Angelo Gaja Sori Tildin and Costa Russi vineyards.)

Here, the Nebbiolo grape flourishes on sandier soils than those of nearby Barolo, lending more beneficial minerals and a more delicate structure to the grapes. After 24 months of barrel-ageing and 12 months resting in bottles, this wine displays classically refined notes of roses and violets, backed by wild red berries and earthy aromas. The 2005 is more structured than the 2003 and should benefit from a few years of aging. Socre is indeed a fine example of what Barbaresco, and indeed the Nebbiolo grape, can be.

Reviews

Wine Enthusiast Editor's Choice 92 Points

Soft chocolate and supple berry aromas round off the sharpness you sometimes encounter in the most austere expressions of Piemontese winemaking. Socre (a newcomer winery) delivers a pleasantly plush and luscious Barbaresco with a velvety texture and a yielding personality. The wine is ready now and will appeal to New World tastes.
