“… Bruno Rocca is without question one of the hottest estates in Barbaresco right now. And my feeling is that Francesco Rocca (Bruno’s son and Luisa’s brother) is just getting started.” Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media.
In the late 1950s, Bruno Rocca’s father Francesco, and his wife Maria Adelaide purchased a vineyard in Rabajà and moved there from the centre of Barbaresco. This marked the beginning, in particular for Bruno, who from a very early age began to view the grapes as the true expression of the land. In 1978 Bruno decided to carve out a new direction, rather than selling the grapes to large Barbaresco producers, Bruno began to sell bottled wine on the Italian and world stage. The philosophy of wine as the natural expression of the Barbaresco territory was widely appreciated, and with the estate’s gradual growth came the purchase of new plots of land and the expansion of the cellar, which continues today with Bruno’s children Francesco and Luisa now both closely involved in all aspects of the wine production and sales respectively. Organic farming with certification ; 100% estate grown fruit; minimal intervention and sparing use of French oak usually less than 10% new oak across production. The Bruno Rocca company philosophy is clear, as Rocca himself affirms: “Wine is the mirror and soul of the ground, and the territory, if protected and defended, it will never let you down.”
100% Dolcetto, Estate grown fruit sourced from Trifole vineyard which abuts Rabaja in Barbaresco. Fruit was sourced from Bruno Rocca’s estate vineyards that have an average age of 40 years old, Maturation took place in stainless steel.
Gorgeous rendition is this… mouthwatering aromatics of dark plum, raspberry and more-ish spice. Juicy dark cherry, freshly crushed blackberry and liquorice flavours intermingle with earth, beautifully intergrated tannins. Super impressive is all we can say about this fabulous vino. Don’t miss this bargain.
90 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous “The 2022 Dolcetto d’Alba Trifolè is a very pleasant, easygoing wine to drink now and over the next few years. Floral and fruity, with lovely balance, the 2022 is impeccably done. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, mint and lavender build nicely into the finish. This laid back Dolcetto is a charmer.”
