ANTONIO GALLONI - VINOUS - 90 POINTS
The 2009 Barolo Rocchettevino is the most powerful of these 2009 barolos from Ciabot Berton. Dark cherries, plum, menthol, smoke and tobacco all burst from the glass in a virile, powerful Barolo. If the tannins settle down, the 2009 may merit a higher score. Still, this is a solid showing. 90 Points – Drink 2014-2021

    

DECANTER – October 2013 issue

Beautifully perfumed and refined with an open and expressive nose, showing aromas of ripe cherry, ginger and toasted coffee. Big and powerful, but finishes long and pure with hints of tar. Lovely, textbook Barolo. Drink 2014-2024 
92 Points - Highly recommended

WINE ENTHUSIAST

This classic Barolo reveals ripe dark fruit and earth aromas, and hints of orange peel and herbs. The palate is still closed, but you can detect ripe fruit, spice and mint notes. It has bracing but fine tannins, and promises to open up in a few more years. 91 points

JANCIS ROBINSON 
Mid to deep ruby with orange rim. Balsamic and a little savoury. Ripe and without a lot of expression, also perhaps of the lowish acidity.

Gastronomic combinations: Excellent with braised or roasted meat, game dishes and tasty cheese.
