2022 Bruno Rocca Barbaresco DOCG

The 2022 Bruno Rocca Barbaresco DOCG is a masterclass in elegance and terroir. Produced by one of the most respected names in the region, this wine is a pure expression of Nebbiolo, sourced from the family’s meticulously tended vineyards in the heart of Barbaresco.

While the Rocca family is world-renowned for their legendary Rabajà cru, this "classic" Barbaresco serves as the perfect introduction to their house style: a seamless blend of power, finesse, and aromatic complexity.

• Appearance: A brilliant garnet red with shimmering highlights.

• Nose: An explosive and refined bouquet. Expect intense notes of wild rose and crushed violets, layered with small red berries, hints of spice, and a delicate earthy undertone characteristic of the Langhe.

• Palate: The palate is harmonious and structured. Vibrant acidity meets silky, well-integrated tannins. Flavors of ripe cherry and raspberry give way to more complex notes of licorice and tobacco on a long, persistent finish.

The 2022 Vintage

The 2022 growing season in Piedmont delivered wines with remarkable concentration and expressive fruit profiles. This vintage of Bruno Rocca Barbaresco is already showing incredible approachability while possessing the structural bones to age beautifully for the next decade.
