Description
Description
Rocca Giovanni is a small family winery in the Langhe hills of Monforte d'Alba, Piedmont. Made from 100% Nebbiolo, oak-aged for 10 months and then bottle-aged for 7 months. It is garnet-hued with flecks of orange. On the nose, it is intense and fruity with notes of cherries, prunes and violets. In the mouth it is full, pleasantly tannic and harmonious.
Match it with dishes like porcini risotto.
We recommend drinking these wines at 16oC and to store the bottles on their sides in a cool place.

Rocca Giovanni is a small family winery located in the Langhe hills of Monforte d’Alba in Piedmont. Meaning “the foot of the mountain”, Piedmont is framed by the Alps and the Appenines, bordering Switzerland and France. The Piedmontese are unrivalled in their devotion to their craft, and the Rocca family are no exception.
Singular grape varieties have been grown for generations by the Roccas, in selected areas of land particularly suited to wine-making. Father and son, Giovanni and Maurizio, monitor every stage in the winemaking process, from the cultivation of the vines right through to the cellaring of the bottles. They supply us with the classic Italian “King of Wine”, Barolo, from the approved communes, as well as Nebbiolo, Barbera d’Asti, Dolcetto and a very pleasant Chardonnay.
