The Winery

Bruno Rocca

Paradoxically, our goal is not to ‘make’ wine, but to guide its evolution to help it best express itself. Our land, not the producer, is inscribed on the wine.
– Proprietor

Since 1843, the Rocca family has owned land in Barbaresco. It all began in the 1950s after the family purchased one of the most celebrated crus called Rabaja. Known for its high quality grapes, the land helped launch the beginning of a wine label in 1978. Today, the original Bruno Rocca has his children, Luisa and Francesco, working with him to produce numerous beautiful wines from Piedmont. The family has tasked themselves with the renewal of faith in the history of the land that was cultivated by ancestors past.

Tasting Notes

WA95
This is a delightful cool-vintage Nebbiolo that promises a long aging future ahead. In fact, I bet this wine will prove more interesting as it evolves, compared to a warmer vintage such as 2015 (which I tasted beside this wine). The 2014 Barbaresco Rabajà is tightly bound and firm at its center. It shows fragrant tones of wild rose, cassis, crushed mineral and balsam herb at the edges. These delicate nuances should develop and take on more power as the wine moves though time. This vintage ends with a vein of fresh acidity that adds to the focused and tight youthfulness of the wine today.
