Description
What kind of wine is it
Bruno Rocca Barbaresco Currà is a red wine made from Nebbiolo grapes, a structured and precise expression of the renowned Barbaresco area. The flavour profile opens with vibrant freshness and savouriness, then evolves towards a deep intensity. On the nose, it reveals clear notes of blackberry and blueberry, enriched by a delicate spiciness of sweet pipe tobacco. This complex character is supported by meticulous work in the cellar, aimed at enhancing the wine's longevity over time.
Where does it come from
This wine originates from vines planted in the 1950s within the municipality of Barbaresco. The roots delve into calcium-rich soil, a geological matrix that gives the sip a taut profile and a well-defined texture. The Bruno Rocca winery works with the aim of delivering a natural expression of the area, maintaining a low yield per hectare to encourage maximum aromatic concentration and faithfully reflect the authentic identity of the cru.
How is it produced
The Nebbiolo grapes undergo a slow fermentation in wooden vats for about thirty days, encouraging the extraction of the intense ruby colour with garnet highlights and the definition of the structure. Once this phase is complete, the wine continues with a long maturation in large French oak barrels, which ensure gradual ageing and a balanced integration of the components. The result retains a savoury entry, developing progression, intensity and an elegant, persistent finish.
History and Curiosities
The Barbaresco Currà embodies the essence of the Piedmont region, originating from vines planted in the 1950s rooted in calcareous soil. This prestigious label reflects the historic dedication of the Bruno Rocca family, who have been connected to the Langhe since 1950. The excellence of this wine develops through a slow fermentation in wooden vats and meticulous ageing in French oak for up to thirty-six months, which imparts a vibrant elegance to each sip. A liquid masterpiece, awarded 93 points by Vinous, ideal for enhancing the most refined occasions.

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
