WHO?
Bruno Rocca took over the family business from his father in 1978. Before this, Bruno worked at Ferrero Rocher in Alba, as the family farm could not support more than one family by selling its grapes. After taking over, he began bottling wine and soon established himself as one of the top producers in Barbaresco, primarily due to his vineyards on the prized Rabajà hill. Today, Bruno runs the 15-hectare estate with his daughter Luisa and son Francesco, producing around 65,000 bottles in total.
WHERE?
The vineyards are located at an altitude of 200 to 370 meters. The soil is rich in limestone and microelements ideal for cultivating Nebbiolo. The vineyards in Neive are particularly sandy, contributing to the production of full-bodied wines with firm tannins. The vines are 20-25 years old and are pruned using the Guyot method.
WHY?
The grapes are hand-picked before undergoing a second selection at the winery prior to destemming. Crushing is done in a pneumatic press, and the resulting must undergoes fermentation in 50-hectoliter stainless steel tanks, lasting approximately 20-25 days. Finally, the wine spends 12-14 months in French oak barrels where malolactic fermentation is naturally completed.
