Bruno Rocca
ブルーノ・ロッカ
Rabajà pioneer: benchmark, terroir-driven Barbaresco since 1978.
Bruno Rocca is one of Barbaresco's benchmark producers, based at the crest of the celebrated Rabajà cru. Notary records place the Rocca family in the township of Barbaresco as early as 1834, and in 1958 Francesco Rocca acquired the prestigious Rabajà vineyard. The winery itself was founded in 1978, when his son Bruno left the Produttori del Barbaresco cooperative to bottle wine under the family name for the first time. Today Bruno's children, Francesco and Luisa, lead the estate alongside him, farming organically across Rabajà and other top Barbaresco sites (Coparte, Currà, Loreto) to produce structured, terroir-driven Nebbiolo wines with a strong international following. Note: Bruno Rocca is an entirely separate estate and family from Albino Rocca, another well-known Barbaresco producer that shares only the Rocca surname — the two wineries are unrelated.
