"This offers the classic Nebbiolo fragrance of blue flower, red rose, woodland berry, tilled earth and whiffs of cake spices. The palate delivers ripe black cherry, crushed raspberry and white pepper framed in big, chewy tannins."

The Producer

Albino Rocca

The Rocca family has been cultivating Nebbiolo for over a century. The company, Albino Rocca, was established in 1955 in one of the most prestigious regions of Piedmont. The first vintage of Barbaresco was produced under the Albino Rocca label in 1971.

Albino Rocca is composed of four vineyards, approximately eighteen hectares in total, all located in the historic Barbaresco DOCG. Their primary production is Nebbiolo but also includes a little Barbera, Dolcetto, Cortese, Chardonnay, and Moscato. The winery has the 'Green Experience' certification, employing viticultural methods that conserve natural resources and protect the landscape. The winery’s commitment to ecological protection is a defining principle of Albino Rocca.

Albino’s son, Angelo, began working in the winery at the age of fifteen and grew to become known as 'Barbaresco’s free thinker' determined to produce high-quality, terroir-driven wines.
