Like many of the Rocca wines, the Nebbiolo d’Alba comes from a single vineyard—located between Barolo and Barbaresco in the westernmost section of the Seno d'Elvio subzone. Aptly, this area is known locally as Terra di Mezzo: Middle Earth. Here, the Nebbiolo vines range from 15 to 60 years old. The Rocca family matured this wine for eight months in large Austrian and German oak casks.
Rocca’s Nebbiolo d’Alba perennially offers outstanding depth and interest. The 2024 is already enticing, with lifted florals and waves of alpine strawberry and wild berry sweetness, alongside blonde tobacco, orange peel and dried herb notes. All this loveliness is carefully framed by supple, juicy tannins. It’s a crazy-good wine for the level, with superb purity and finesse. For lovers of Pinot weighted Nebb, this is simply a brilliant value.
