Bruno Rocca has been associated with celebrated Barbaresco since the 1950s. Though the Rocca family had been farmers in the area since the mid-19th century, it was in 1958 that Francesco Rocca bought vineyards in the prestigious Rabajà region and began supplying grapes to the community winery. With the 1978 vintage the family started bottling wine under their own name and today the Roccas own vineyards beyond Barbaresco. Brother and sister Francesco and Luisa Rocca today run the estate, which includes 8.6 acres in Rabajà. Bruno Rocca makes several Barbarescos, as well as Barbera, Dolcetto, Chardonnay and Langhe Nebbiolo. The estate’s Barbarescos often earn 3 Bicchieri awards from Gambero Rosso.
