Description
What kind of wine it is
Bruno Rocca Barbaresco is a still red wine from Piedmont, a pure expression of the Nebbiolo grape variety. To the eye, it displays a pale ruby red colour, hinting at a structured and complex aromatic profile. The bouquet opens with notes of pomegranate and dried rose, enriched by hints of propolis, a varied array of spices, fern and eucalyptus. On the palate, it shows great balance, revealing itself as powerful yet at the same time smooth and radiant. Thanks to its measured and elegant texture, this wine pairs beautifully with robust flavours. It is ideal with dishes based on meat and game, as well as with mature cheeses and pork-based preparations.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Piedmont, within the Barbaresco area. The Bruno Rocca winery meticulously tends its vineyards, carefully overseeing every agronomic and winemaking phase. The producer's philosophy regards wine as the natural expression of its place of origin, constantly working to enhance the intrinsic characteristics of the local soil. The estate is a benchmark for those seeking an authentic interpretation of the Piedmontese landscape, capable of producing wines with a precise and distinctive profile.
How it is produced
The production process begins with vinification in steel, a technique chosen to preserve aromatic clarity and fruit definition. This is followed by ageing for sixteen months in barrels and a further ten months in bottle, essential steps to consolidate the structure and promote excellent longevity. The balanced acidity supports a smooth and satisfying progression on the palate. To fully enhance its nuances and complexity, it is recommended to serve the wine at a temperature between 16 and 18°C, ideally after one hour of aeration.

This spelled the beginning of the company’s growth and the end of sharecropping. Still a minor, Bruno learned to see grapes as the true expression of the land. After the first decades, when the vineyard’s products were sold almost exclusively to Barbaresco Producers, and used only minimally for wine production, in 1978 he decided to take the company in a new direction. With enthusiasm growing for the burgeoning wine market, Rabajà di Bruno Rocca managed to carve out a name and image for itself on the Italian and world stage by selling bottled wine, thereby becoming a veritable leader in the field.
The philosophy of wine as the natural expression of the Barbaresco territory was widely appreciated, and with the company’s gradual growth came the purchase of new plots of land and the expansion of the cellar, all the way up to the current day. Read more
