Description
Description
One for the cellar. Rocca Giovanni Barolo is an imported red wine that reveals cherry, raisin and light spice on the nose. Very dry with intense tannins. Cellaring will reveal red berry and floral characteristics. Promises to be a classic with aging.
We recommend storing the bottles on their sides in a cool place while patiently waiting.

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.
