Barbaresco Rocche Massalupo Geroboam 2020 by Manuel Marinacci enhances the expression of Nebbiolo through its large format, ideal for slow evolution. Complex notes of red fruit, rose petals, spice, and light balsamic nuances emerge on the nose. The palate is rich, elegant, and well-balanced, with a silky texture and a long, enveloping finish.
Shimmering in the glass with hues ranging from delicate ruby to transparent garnet, this wine captivates with an ethereal and finely nuanced aromatic profile. Rose petals and violets emerge alongside wild red berries—strawberry, crushed raspberry, and tart cherry—enriched by subtle notes of blood orange, mint, licorice, and sweet spice.
A natural companion to rich red meat dishes, this wine pairs beautifully with Barbaresco-braised beef, roasted meats, stewed game, and roast lamb. For a more traditional regional match, it shines alongside tajarin with Alba white truffle or a creamy porcini mushroom risotto, where its elegance and structure find perfect harmony.
On the palate, it is elegant yet beautifully structured, driven by vibrant acidity and a concentrated core of vivid fruit. Fine, chalky tannins lend precision and grace, while maturation reveals deeper layers of earth, aromatic herbs, and star anise. The finish is long, energetic, and remarkably harmonious, touched by a refined savory minerality.
