Cantina del Bricchetto di Franco Rocca

Franco Rocca - Cantina del Bricchetto, Neive Piedmont

Franco Rocca is one the smallest Barbaresco producers located in Neive. He makes only about 25,000 bottles per year including Dolcetto, Barbera and Barbaresco. We love this winemaker because he takes care of all his vineyards by himself and works in an extremely respectful and organic way, even if at times it can be the harder choice. Franco has worked in the vineyards since he was a child, learning from his grandfather.
His wines are not made for the masses or for the market, and therefore he releases his wines when they are ready even if that means a few years later than the minimum standards.
All of Franco Rocca's wines are special and coming from vineyards in prime locations within the Barbaresco appellation. This includes even his Dolcetto, often a varietal which is given the last choice parcels and least care. His barberas age until they are ready, with Bricco Sterpone aging more than 2 years in oak barrels as well as coming from over 50 year old vines. The Barbaresco comes from a grand cru in Neive called Albesani and expresses the power and elegance of this territory.

Barbera Bricco Sterpone - Cantina del Bricchetto, Neive

The Barbera d’Alba DOC is coming from barbera grapes shown in the large area including Langhe and Roero as seen on the map. The grape is one of the most planted, especially in Northern Italy. It adapts more easily to different soils, making it less finicky compared to other Piemontese varietals. It used to be considered a more “rustic” wine in the past, mostly due to its high acidity.
Franco Rocca’s Barbera d’Alba Bricco Sterpone is coming from an old vineyard on the border of Neive and Mango villages. He believes this Barbera is best kept for a long time in oak, ranging from 20-24 months. This is equivalent or longer than even many Barbarescos in the area giving it a dark fruit and spicy bouquet. This is a warm, full bodied and elegant wine which can be drunk now or held up to 10 years.
