Description
What kind of wine it is
Barbaresco Marcorino by Bruno Rocca is a still red wine that precisely expresses the character of Nebbiolo. In the glass, it displays a ruby red colour enriched with garnet reflections. On the nose, it offers a broad profile, characterised by clear aromas of black cherry, orange peel and withering roses, followed by hints of cedarwood, liquorice and spicy nuances. On the palate, it delivers an elegant and fresh structure, supported by perfectly integrated velvety tannins, leading to a savoury and long-lasting finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the heart of Piedmont, within the Marcorino vineyard, a terroir that enhances the vocation of the area. The Bruno Rocca winery has cultivated these vines with deep dedication rooted in the 1950s. The agronomic approach and cellar work aim to transfer the authentic local identity into the glass. Meticulous care focuses on expressing an unmistakable profile of finesse, ensuring decades-long longevity that evolves masterfully over time.
How it is produced
The rigorous vinification of Barbaresco Marcorino involves targeted ageing, essential for enhancing aromatic complexity and defining the tannic structure. To best highlight its organoleptic profile, it is recommended to decant for an hour before serving. This careful production results in a savoury and persistent sip, ideal for pairing with partridge with truffle, game dishes or fine aged cheeses.
History and Curiosities
Barbaresco Marcorino originates in Piedmont from the passion of the Bruno Rocca family, guardians of the land since the 1950s. Since 1978, the estate has been bottling the essence of the Barbaresco terroir, dedicating twelve hectares of vineyards to this magnificent cru. Under the careful guidance of Bruno and Francesco, the winery produces seventy thousand fine bottles a year. The result is an excellent pure Nebbiolo, an authentic expression of the land that masterfully weaves together artisanal tradition with absolute and unmistakable elegance.

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
