Tasting Note
Currà is a relatively high MGA (between 270 and 300 metres above sea level) in Neive where the wines, compared to Barbaresco, have more delicacy and less structure. In the 2018 vintage Bruno Rocca achieved great complexity here with smoky woodland notes over dried cherries and raspberries, and some leafy lightness. Easy drinking and graceful, it has ripe tannins that are chalky on the finish, along with delicate refreshing acidity and rather good length." Drink 2021 - 2048

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.
