This unique wine is the only Cortese grown within the boundaries of Barbaresco. Angelo Rocca was a great fan of Burgundy. He went as far as planting Chardonnay vines in the family’s home village of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio. Yet it is the Estate’s Cortese that stands out for us. Rocca always believed in crafting a structured, food-friendly Cortese from low yields. His family has taken the wine to another level, weaving in complex mineral-savoury hints, juicy texture and a nip of reductive freshness. The grapes are sourced from 1980s planting in the Ronchi Cru and a younger parcel in Meruzzano (San Rocco Seno d'Elvio) planted in 2014. The wine fermented in stainless steel, matured in French oak and aged on lees in barrel.
