Tasting Note
They are always so expressive of vintage and territory. The 2018 Barbaresco gives us quite a few blanket descriptors that can be applied to the 2018 growing season. The wine is ethereal and delicate with cool-climate freshness, wild berry, fragolino di bosco and rose hip. There is a transparent and honest quality to the fruit that leaves plenty of room for those background tones of crushed limestone or white rock. To the palate, this Barbaresco is extremely fine and polished. About 14,000 bottles were released. - ML

Bruno Rocca
The Rocca family have been present in the Barbaresco township since the beginning of the 19th century and it was in 1958 that Francesco Rocca purchased a farmstead in Rabaja, one of the most prestigious of the Barbaresco crus. His son, Bruno Rocca, changed the direction of the family business to winegrowing, harvesting his first vintage in 1978 and today it is Bruno’s children - Francesco and Luiza Rocca - who manage the vineyard and cellars. The Bruno Rocca estate includes 12.5 hectares in the Barbaresco and Neive municipalities in the Langhe hills, as well as 3 hectares of vineyards in Vaglio Serra, Monferrato. The family winery specialises in the production of beautiful Barbera d’Asti and Barbaresco wines from Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto. The terroir-driven wines of Bruno Rocca are graced with a feather on their labels, a symbol of the story told by the precious wine inside.
