The name of this wine comes from the previous owner, Gepin, who tended these parcels of Barbera in the great crus of Ronchi (Barbaresco) and Cottà (Neive), old vines planted between 1950 and 1974. It is raised in large Austrian casks and bottled unfiltered.

This is a very smart wine; ripe, pure and pulpy, with the kind of intensity and length seldom found in the regular Barbera d’Alba DOC (where the best sites are often reserved for Nebbiolo). It’s textural and fruit rich, with a finish that’s as fresh as a daisy. An absolutely perfectly balanced, medium-bodied red and a benchmark example of Barbera.

Description

Winemakers since four generations.

Our history starts in the mid 1940’s when Albino Rocca’s father Giacomo started in the wine business initially selling grapes from family vineyards and later making his own wine that was sold in demijohn.

Thanks to the inheritance of some of our most precious vineyards in the 1960’s our grandfather was able to start what is now our winery Albino Rocca. Albino’s hard work and his strong support of our father Angelo Rocca laid the foundation that created a family winemaking tradition that has grown internationally over the years.

Our history has been built together, year by year. First through the gradual acquisition of vineyards and the production of not only Nebbiolo, but also Dolcetto and Barbera in addition to our continuous effort to evolve the quality of our Barbaresco – which starts in the vineyards and continues in the cellar.

Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
