Bruno Rocca, Barbaresco
£150.00
Description
Alcohol percentage: 14%
Area:
The village of Barbaresco is not as famous as its rival Barolo but shares a similar spectacular setting amongst the rolling Lange hills. Curra is a south-west facing vineyard in Neive.
Grape variety:
100% Nebbiolo, aged in French oak barrels for 12 months and then large Slavonian oak for another year.
Producer:
Bruno Rocca’s parents bought the property in 1928. Bruno, who took over in 1978, is essentially a ‘modernist’ producer (he does use new, small French oak barrels) but he does retain elegance and structure in his wines. He has just 15 hectares and produces only 5-6,000 cases of wine a year.
The Bottle Shop rating:
This is not yet fully mature; just getting the classic tea leaf and violet aroma; full-bodied but (for Nebbiolo) relatively gentle and rounded.
