Product Notes

Bruno Rocca Barbera d'Alba is a fine red wine produced from the Barbera grape variety grown in the famous Piedmont region of Italy. The wine comes from the esteemed vineyards of Bruno Rocca, an iconic winery in the area known for its exceptional quality wines. The wine has a vibrant ruby color and a complex aroma of ripe cherries, blackcurrants, and hints of tobacco. On the palate, it is dry and medium-bodied with a firm tannic structure and a fantastic acidity that balances out the fruitiness. The wine has an excellent finish that leaves a lingering taste of spices and berries. It pairs perfectly with red meats, pasta dishes, and hard cheeses. Bruno Rocca Barbera d'Alba is a must-try for any wine enthusiast, offering a beautiful representation of the Barbera grape in a refined and elegant style.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of ripe black fruits such as plum, blackberries and dark cherries are complemented by notes of toasted almonds and pink peppercorns. The palate is warm, generous and flavoursome with a balanced structure and a savoury finish.

About the Winery

Bruno Rocca

The history of Bruno Rocca remains closely tied with the Rocca family. Several notary documents and historical records attest and show the family’s presence in the Barbaresco township since 1834. Thus, the venture and idea of the winery originated from as early as that time. 

Since 1864, the Rocca family has remained invested in owning numerous vineyards, sites, slopes and houses in the area. Later on, they began to develop and focus on a multi-purpose farm. Viticulture became one of their most essential means of household finance. It happened over several years. Around the late 1950s, the Rocca family became associated with an exceptional cru located in the hills, named Rabajà. The land of the vineyard was of high quality, allowing them to harvest superior standard grapes. This action ushered the Rocca family into the art and business of winemaking and bottling.  

After approximately 150 years of growing grapevines and producing wines, Bruno Rocca of the Rocca family took over the family business. He began to make his distinct wines and sell them in 1978 under the family name. Bruno launched the winemaking process into a colossal number of experiments, modernising the business. He worked with the aim and goal of raising the value and quality of the wines he produced and the Rabajà cru. 

However, the other vineyards owned by Bruno Rocca do not fall short of the Rabajà cru as well. They are also suitable to produce high-quality grapes. The parcels remain located across multiple prestigious sites. They comprise Fausoni, Currà, San Cristoforo, and Marcorino.

In recent times, Bruno’s two children, Francesco and Luisa, remain involved in the management and operations of the winery. They strive to respect the natural qualities of the land and produce wines that possess a sense of exceptional equilibrium between all its elements.
