Tasting Note
A real trophy for your cellar if you can find it, the Bruno Rocca 2015 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà (with a tiny production of 1,828 bottles released) is singing loud and clear. Compared to the Riserva from Currà, this Rabajà shows more mineral definition and is sharper and more etched as a result. The bouquet opens gradually to reveal dark fruit, dried plum, spice and licorice root. But those notes of crushed rock or limestone are what pull it all together with such seamless elegance. It's too bad so few bottles exist.

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.
