About this wine
The Riserva bottling from Cascina Ballarin's Bricco Rocca vineyard in La Morra, named "Tistot," is the estate's top-tier Barolo. Made from 100% Nebbiolo and given significantly longer oak aging than the estate's regular Bricco Rocca, it has been reviewed under multiple vintages (2006-2013) by Wine Enthusiast, Decanter and tracked on Vivino and Wine-Searcher, showing toasted, hazelnut, camphor and mocha notes over a full-bodied, close-grained palate built for extended cellaring.
A serious, full-bodied Riserva Barolo best suited to those already familiar with Nebbiolo's tannic backbone.
Sommelier's Note
"The estate's most ambitious wine — Tistot shows what patience in the cellar can do for Bricco Rocca Nebbiolo."
Food Pairings
Best with roasted lamb, game, truffle-based pasta, and aged cheeses. In a Japanese context, it pairs well with richly simmered beef dishes (gyu-suji nikomi) or duck roasted with a soy-based glaze.
When to drink it
Milestone celebrations, formal dinners, and collector's cellar occasions.
