Produced in the prestigious Barbaresco area, it appears in the glass with an intense and deep garnet red colour.

On the palate, it provides a warm and enveloping sensation, supported by \u003cstrong\u003esoft and rounded tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that define an extremely elegant sip.

The vines sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003eclay and tuff soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched with marl and limestone. This geological composition encourages the development of a defined varietal expression and a precise tannic structure. The identity of the Bruno Rocca winery has been linked to this territory since the late 1950s, becoming officially established in 1978. The estate cultivates prized vineyards to ensure an \u003cstrong\u003eageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e of between ten and fifteen years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e lasting eighteen to twenty days, a crucial step to extract the aromatic identity of Nebbiolo. Afterwards, the wine undergoes a long maturation period that shapes its character. \u003cstrong\u003eAging in French oak\u003c\/strong\u003e continues for twenty-four months, divided between the use of barriques and large casks. This carefully timed stay in wood allows the delicate boisé notes to harmonise with the natural fruity liveliness, refining the structure without overpowering it. The result is a wine with an \u003cstrong\u003eimpeccable technical profile\u003c\/strong\u003e, which benefits from about an hour of decanting to fully release its breadth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBarbaresco Rabajà\u003c\/strong\u003e by Bruno Rocca embodies the spirit of Piedmont, the result of a family passion deeply rooted in the region since the 1950s.
