Its Origins

Bruno Rocca’s parents bought the estate's current property in the 1950‘s when they moved to Rabaja from Barbaresco. Bruno took over the estate when his father died in 1978. As a consummate modernist, Bruno uses modern technology to produce wines with tremendous intensity of fruit balanced by the characteristic Piemontese structure and a judicious use of oak. His wines look, smell and taste like real Nebbiolo and unlike an increasing number of other Piemonte producers, he never feels the need to add a certain extra something to deepen the colour or round out the palate. Bruno started bottling in 1978 and since then has risen to the top of the quality tree in this area, producing a Barbaresco and the single vineyard Rabaja Barbaresco. His daughter, Luisa now works with him at the estate as the marketing manager.

What The Critics Say

96/100 Decanter, Aldo Fiordelli

"Currà is for Bruno Rocca a Barbaresco of delicacy and elegance. The nose is focused on sweet spice and sophisticated Parma violet. The fruit is restrained and multifaceted: strawberry, pomegranate and cherry with a balsamic and earthy depth. Such great silky tannins on the palate, super-refined and sustained by fruit concentration where pomegranate dominates, and a chewy, long, even austere acidity on the finish. It shows great potential while being remarkably sleek." Drink 2022 - 2044

95/100 Vinous, Antonio Galloni

“The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Currà is a stunning wine of tremendous energy and vibrancy. All the signatures of this site are amplified in a statuesque Barbaresco that is thrilling right out of the gate. Crushed raspberry, blood orange, cinnamon and new leather all run through the 2019. Bright acids and driving tannins wrap around a deep core of red/purplish fruit. The 2019 is a wild, powerful, structured wine built for aging. Time in the glass brings out the wine’s more refined side to balance things out. The Riserva has a bit more sweetness than the straight bottling, but both wines are marked by their superb textural elegance. The 2019 is every bit as impressive is it was last year. In a word: stellar." Drink 2025 - 2039
