Description
What type of wine it is
Bruno Rocca's Barbaresco Marcorino is a still red wine from Piedmont that expresses the authentic character of Nebbiolo. It is distinguished by an elegant and fresh profile, opening with a broad and sharp bouquet. Hints of black cherry, orange zest and wilting roses emerge, followed harmoniously by notes of cedarwood, liquorice and spicy nuances. On the palate, it is supported by velvety and well-integrated tannins, offering a savoury, balanced sip with a long finish.
Where it comes from
This Barbaresco originates in Piedmont, within the famous Marcorino vineyard, an exceptional cru. The Bruno Rocca winery has tended to these lands with deep dedication dating back to the 1950s, working to transfer the true local identity into the glass. The extremely meticulous agronomic approach is geared towards enhancing an unmistakable finesse, giving life to a red wine capable of evolving magnificently over time while keeping its territorial consistency intact.
How it is produced
Production is based on rigorous vinification and targeted ageing, which are crucial steps for defining the tannic structure and expanding the aromatic complexity.
History and interesting facts
Barbaresco Marcorino is born in Piedmont from the deep passion of the Rocca family, custodians of the land since the 1950s. Since 1978, the winery has been showcasing the soul of the Marcorino vineyard, dedicating twelve hectares to this magnificent cru. Under the leadership of Bruno and Francesco, seventy thousand bottles are produced each year, a pure expression of a rigorous artisanal tradition. This extraordinary pure Nebbiolo, awarded 94 points by Vinous, weaves together the memory of the land with an 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
