In stock
Superb value and a real delight, this Bruno Rocca is coming soon to a decanter near you where it will be showing nicely after the interval. Packed with that drink-younger charm of Barbaresco's generous sun, it offers beautiful aromatics, depth, mineral complexity and a textural softness and elegance it has won Bruno Rocca a reputation for special deliciousness. With the balance to improve for decades in cellar, this X factor wine is a lot of goodness in the glass for the price.

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

17+/20 JancisRobinson.com, Walter Speller

"Neive. Concentrated mid ruby with orange tinges. Leafy nose with shy cherry fruit. Succulent cherry fruit with long, finely chiselled tannins. Great length and with proper concentration. Quite gorgeous for the vintage. 14.5% Drink 2023 – 2028"

92/100 Vinous, Antonio Galloni

“The warm growing season yielded a Barbaresco with lovely forward fruit, silky tannins and tons of upfront appeal. It’s an ideal wine for restaurants or consumers looking for something delicious to drink with minimal cellaring. The 2020 spent 11 months in oak, quite a bit less than the 16-18 of the past, which preserves a good deal of freshness. Drink 2023-2035”
