The wine

Intense ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose is enticing, with clear dark berry fruit giving way to spice.

Riserva demands 50 months of ageing against the standard 26 for Barbaresco. Rabajà is the appellation most celebrated cru, a steep south-facing amphitheatre of calcareous marl, and a Riserva from it is the fullest statement the estate makes. Bruno Rocca farm 15 hectares on the prized Rabajà hill in Barbaresco, working with his daughter Luisa and son Francesco.

The producer

From the celebrated Rabajà hillside in the heart of Barbaresco, the Rocca family have spent decades perfecting the art of Nebbiolo. Theirs is a name spoken with reverence across Piedmont, a byword for wines of precision, perfume and quiet power.

Working some of the Langhe's most coveted crus, the estate marries traditional patience with a modern clarity of fruit. Long macerations, considered oak and an unwavering respect for site give wines that are at once structured and sensuous, built to reward the cellar yet impossible to resist young.

From a bright, everyday Barbera to the profound single-vineyard Riservas, every bottle carries the Rocca signature: aromas of rose and wild cherry, silken tannin and a finish that lingers long after the glass is empty.
