2024 Ruggeri Corsini 'Rosin' Langhe Rosato
100% nebbiolo fruit from Barolo (Monforte).
A very strong release of a perennial classic for us. Sadly production was miniscule in 2024 & we obtained 1/5 of our normal quantities.
All the classic salinity we get from this wine each year but extra length - very long. It’s true to it’s usual style but more vinous and serious. Like the 2023 this also carries a little less colour than earlier vintages. It’s a marvellous release albeit perhaps less ‘gluggable’ & more a contemplative release.
93 Points, Gary Walsh (TWF) – “A more complex and savoury style here. Red cherry, dried flowers, something of a bresaola thing, plus a little spice, dried orange peel, and peanut oil. It’s fleshy and nutty, redcurrant and cherry, a juicy blood orange tang, fine powdery grip, with a saline finish of good length. Quite the umami thing here, and very good it is too.”
