Overview

Bruno is a modernist, which is to say that he makes modern styled Barbaresco. He has experimented extensively with different types of French oak and has perfected a balance which promotes the fine aromatics of wines from this zone. His wines possess intense complexity and aromatics resulting in ultra refined elegance.The Nebbiolo grapes for this beautiful example of Barbaresco come from select vineyards in the communes of Neive and Treiso, both a few kilometers away from Alba close to Barbaresco.

The 2006 Barbaresco Coparossa shows terrific depth in its plump core of perfumed bright-toned red fruit. Sweet suggestions of tobacco, licorice and menthol linger on the long, classy finish. This is another fairly accessible Barbaresco from Bruno Rocca. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2018.
