Bruno Rocca Langhe Rosato 2025

The wine
Langhe Rosato is Nebbiolo made as a rosé, which suits the variety unusually well: it is naturally pale-skinned and high in acidity, giving colour reluctantly and freshness generously.
The fruit is pressed early with minimal skin contact and fermented cool to hold the red-fruit and floral aromatics. Rosé is a rarity in Barbaresco country, where nearly everything is bottled red and aged for years. Bruno Rocca farm 15 hectares on the prized Rabajà hill in Barbaresco, working with his daughter Luisa and son Francesco.

Bruno Rocca
View all Bruno Rocca winesFrom 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.
