Bruno Rocca Barbaresco Riserva “Rabajà” 2020 is the estate’s most prestigious single-vineyard expression from one of Barbaresco’s most iconic crus. Sourced exclusively from the historic Rabajà vineyard in the commune of Barbaresco, this Riserva represents the pinnacle of Bruno Rocca’s Nebbiolo craftsmanship—combining site expression, structure, and refined elegance.

The 2020 vintage is widely regarded as a standout year in Piedmont, delivering wines with exceptional balance between ripeness and freshness. In Rabajà, this translates into a Barbaresco of depth and precision: powerful yet finely etched, with firm tannins and lifted aromatics. The vineyard’s limestone-rich soils and ideal south/southwest exposure contribute to the wine’s signature tension, minerality, and ageing potential.

As a Riserva, this bottling undergoes extended maceration and longer ageing in large neutral oak casks, allowing structure to fully integrate while preserving Nebbiolo’s floral and red-fruited purity. The result is a serious, age-worthy Barbaresco built for long-term cellaring.
