This what we now call a Barolo ‘classico’: it’s blend of various holdings (as opposed to a wine from a single plot, see Bovio’s Rocchettevino) in order to craft a delicious, and very representative, example of what typifies the wine. As a starter for 10, this is ideal.

Tenuta Rocca
Extraordinary as it may sound, it was Gianni (father) and Andrea (son) who actually approached us. They were showing their wines at a fair in Italy, where the next-door table’s exhibitor was our good friend Giampaolo Venica (of the eponymous winery in Collio, Friuli). Talk turned to the UK market: when asked who imported his wine, Giampaolo declared “Decorum”. Soon after, we got a knock on our door…
Infectious enthusiasm is everywhere at Tenuta Rocca, it just permeates every pore. Situated just on the outskirts of Monforte d’Alba, in the little hamlet of Ornati (reached after passing Giacomo Conterno on the left!), it was the main hill (the ‘Sorì Rocca’) where a farmhouse was built in the 18th century. Gianni and Andrea are a potent double-act: the former with thirty-five years of winemaking experience, the latter’s youthful knowledge and desire to seek ever-higher quality (and increasing reliance on bio-dynamic agriculture, absolutely correct).
Region Profile
Piedmont
History, scenery, culture, food, and, of course, wine…Piedmont/Piemonte has it all. Although home to one of Italy’s best whites, Gavi di Gavi, it is the lesser known Arneis that is drunk by the Piemontese. And for red, they glug Dolcetto and Barbera, leaving the great bottles of Barolo and Barbaresco (made from the Nebbiolo grape) to be aged for 6-10 years before the corks get pulled. Exciting times, here, as a new generation of winemakers now strive for the finest quality possible.
