Estate History: Notary documents from the 19th century attest to the presence of the Rocca family in the township of Barbaresco since 1834, the same year their ancestor Francesco (1834-1894) was born. In 1864, Francesco drafted the prenuptial agreements with his future wife, Luigia Cheinasso. In the document, Francesco is defined as “a farmer born and living in Barbaresco”, the co-owner with his brother Giuseppe of “houses, sites, vineyards, and slopes” located within the township. According to later documents, the Rocca family’s activities revolved around a multi-purpose farm. Viniculture was an important part of the household finances alongside fields for foraging and raising livestock.
Tasting Notes: The Bruno Rocca Barbaresco Curra is ruby red in color with aromas of red currant, raspberry, rose, and geranium flowers. Well - structured tannins on the palate are accompanied by a long finish.
