From Bruno Rocca, a family estate founded in 1978 in Barbaresco and widely respected for its meticulous vineyard work and refined expressions of Piedmont's native varieties. Sourced from carefully tended vineyards in the Barbera d'Alba zone, the 2023 vintage shows pure aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry and plum, lifted by gentle floral and spice notes. On the palate it is juicy and supple, driven by Barbera's natural freshness, with polished tannins, bright acidity and a clean, balanced finish that makes it both immediately appealing and deeply satisfying. This is a wine that rewards both immediate enjoyment and cellaring. The structure and balance suggest it will develop gracefully over the next five to seven years, though its approachable nature makes it equally compelling now. Pair with roasted meats, aged cheeses, or rich pasta dishes to fully appreciate its complexity. A benchmark expression of Barbera d'Alba that exemplifies why this region has earned its place among Italy's most serious wine-producing areas.
