Bruno Rocca Barbaresco

Region: Piedmont, Italy

Vintage: 2021

Bottle size: 75cl

Grape: Nebbiolo

ABV: 14%

Deep garnet in colour, this wine has intense aromas of blackberries, cherries and plums with subtle hints of rose and violet. These characteristics are continued onto the palate, with the addition of cocoa notes. This wine is warm and elegant with long-lasting flavours on the finish.

The Nebbiolo grapes for this wine come from younger vines, grown in Bruno Rocca's vineyards in Neive: Cru San Cristoforo (west facing), Marcorino (south-east facing) and Fausoni (east, south and west facing). The vineyards are located at 200/370 meters above sea level. The soil is rich in limestone and micronutrients ideal for growing Nebbiolo.The Neive vineyards are particularly sandy and tufaceous, creating full-bodied wines with firm tannins. The vines are 20-25 years old and Guyot pruned.

Bruno Rocca took charge of the family business when his father died in 1978. Previously, Bruno worked at Ferrero Rocher in Alba as the family farm could not support more than one family by selling its grapes. After taking over, he started bottling the wine and soon established a name for himself as one of the finest producers in Barbaresco, thanks in no small part to his vineyards on the prized hill of Rabajà. Today, Bruno runs the 15-hectare estate with daughter Luisa and son Francesco and has a total production of around 65,000 bottles.
