Tasting notes
An expressive and structured Barbaresco with a captivating bouquet of dried roses, dark cherry, and tar, underpinned by earthy notes of forest floor, dried herbs, and a subtle hint of tobacco. On the palate, flavors of ripe red fruit, leather, and spice unfold with characteristic Nebbiolo authority. The tannins are firm yet refined, supported by vibrant acidity that drives a long, mineral-tinged finish of considerable elegance and depth.

Key characteristics
About this wine
Bruno Rocca makes this Barbaresco DOCG from Nebbiolo grown in Piedmont, the grape's spiritual home. Barbaresco typically shows a touch more finesse than its Barolo neighbour, and this wine follows that template of structure balanced with perfume.
Expect firm, fine-grained tannin, dried rose and tar aromatics, and a savoury core that rewards food. It is built for the table: grilled beef, lamb, venison or a good truffle risotto all work well. Serve at 16-18°C, ideally with time to breathe before pouring.
