Pietro Rocca, the family’s smiling and modest patriarch, is a fourth generation “vignaiolo,” grape-grower. In the early 1970s, he began making and bottling Barbarescos himself. The vineyards are located in the commune of Barbaresco and include the prestigious crus of Monetefico and Montestefano, two of the best sites that are often referred to as being ‘baroloesque’ owing to their backbone and ageing capability. Located on the Eastern side of the commune and separated by a few hundred metres, Montestefano is a few hundred metres south of Montefico and was the first to be bottled as a single vineyard wine, by the legendary Beppe Colla (of Poderi Colla) in 1961. Today Pietro is joined by his sons Marco, an enologist, and Ivan, an agronomist who tends to the vineyards.
