Winemaker Notes
Ronchi is deeply rooted in the Rocca family’s history, as their most historical vineyard. In this Geographical Mention the family owns many parcels all of which overlook the morning sun. For this reason every year the Barbaresco from Ronchi shows more complexity, potential and infinite elegance.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The dark ruby/garnet-colored 1998 Barbaresco Vigneto Brich Ronchi reveals abundant aromas of new saddle leather mixed with spice box, kirsch liqueur, beet roots, and oak. In the mouth, it is rich as well as tannic.

Angelo Rocca is committed to quality in his winery, and his vineyards. For generations his family has grown grapes in the hills of Barbaresco, starting at the turn of the 20th century.
Today Angelo continues to work in the vineyards as well as the cellar. He seeks balance and harmony in combining traditional techniques and modern technologies.
Slowly but steadily he has increased the size of his estate to its current 18 hectares. With most of his vineyards located in Barbaresco, Angelo also has vineyards in Neive as well as in the small village San Rocco Seno d'Elvio, which is located right outside of the town of Alba but is still in the Barbaresco appellation. In addition to Nebbiolo and Barbaresco, the grape and wine that are Angelo's greatest passion, the estate also produces Barbera, Dolcetto, Cortese and Chardonnay.
