Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

By now you know - 2016 is smashing all previous records for quality in Barbaresco (and Piemonte in general). We scored a new small parcel of the ‘16 Ronchi and we must implore you -- if you love Nebbiolo, buy as much as you can at this price.

*** again *** Ya gotta trust us here -- don’t wait for the scores.

The Rocca family’s Barbaresco wines are still mostly an insider’s secret...at least for now. Both vineyard (Ronchi cru) and wines are getting a lot of attention in the last handful of years. It's only a matter of time until these prices creep well into Barolo range.

$34.95 is simply amazing for a wine of this quality. We have 22 cases to sell you.

This fourth generation grower lives on the ‘Ronchi’ vineyard, which is ideally positioned in one of the best areas of Barbaresco. Bordered by cru ‘Montestefano’ to the north and ‘Moccagatta’ to the south, this is prime time Nebbiolo dirt. The wines are ALIVE with energy, savory blood orange, violets, worn leather, mint and dried cherry...we could go on. But...we can tell you this will be gone in a flash. 94 points! You've been warned... First come, first served!

About the Producer

The Rocca family’s peerless Nebbiolo wines are still an insider’s secret, representing some of the better values in Barbaresco. This fourth generation vine-growing family lives, literally, in the ‘Ronchi’ vineyard - with older vines that wind around the family home and cellars. This petite valley, close to Neive, is charmed: bordered by cru ‘Montestefano’ to the north and ‘Moccagatta’ to the south, it is shaped like a perfect amphitheater, capturing the sun and giving Nebbiolo both the concentration and ripe elegance that is the hallmark of fine Barbaresco.
