Tasting Note
In this interpretation Rabajà is a vibrant, powerful wine, full of minerality. On the nose there is a stunning intensity of orange peel combined with fresh violets and wet slate, with whiffs of stone fruit and liquorice root. The attack is richer, highlighting the cherry fruit. Broad and lavish tannins of rare elegance don't mask the authentic character of Nebbiolo, perfectly woven with savoury citrus on the finish." Drink 2021 - 2038

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.
