Barbaresco is sometimes referred to as “the younger brother” of its more robust, tannic neighbor Barolo, known as “the king of wines.” However, Barbaresco is noble and notable in its own right, with its own distinct appellation, history, and hilltop villages.
This Barbaresco is brought to you by the Rocca multigenerational winemaking family, with its roots in Puglia. In 2009, they joined forces with the Dezzani winemaking family of Piemonte. Founded in 1934, Dezzani has access to some of the best vineyards in Monferrato and in Langhe, where the Barbaresco apellation is situated.
The motto of the Rocca winemaking family is: “Five generations, one passion, great Italian wines!”
GRAPE VARIETIES: 100% Nebbiolo.
