Albino Rocca: A Legacy of Excellence in Barbaresco

Nestled in the heart of Italy’s prestigious Barbaresco appellation within Piedmont, Albino Rocca stands as a testament to four generations of family dedication to crafting exceptional wines from the noble Nebbiolo grape. Established in 1955 by Albino Rocca and his father Giacomo, the winery evolved from humble beginnings as grape growers to becoming one of Barbaresco’s most revered producers. Under the visionary leadership of Angelo Rocca in the 1980s, the estate embraced groundbreaking concepts such as single-vineyard bottling, elevating its wines to international acclaim. Today, Angelo’s daughters and son-in-law Carlo continue this legacy, combining time-honored traditions with modern precision.

The winery’s 18 hectares of vineyards, including prized sites like Ronchi and Ovello, thrive on the region’s calcareous marl soils, imparting distinctive minerality and structure to the wines. Albino Rocca’s philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, with practices such as organic farming, nocturnal hand-harvesting, and spontaneous fermentation underscoring their commitment to authenticity. Sustainability remains a cornerstone, with renewable energy sources and eco-conscious practices furthering their respect for the land.

Renowned for their Barbaresco DOCG wines, such as the Ronchi and Ovello, the estate produces bottlings marked by vibrant red cherry, violet, and spice aromas, supported by silky tannins and remarkable aging potential of two decades or more. 

Celebrated by critics, including gold medals and top rankings in The Real Review, Albino Rocca’s wines are best enjoyed after decanting, paired with truffle-infused dishes or grilled meats. A century of passion for terroir and tradition ensures each bottle captures the soul of Barbaresco, embodying the harmony between heritage and innovation.

Albino Rocca：Barbaresco 的正名者

Albino Rocca 酒莊坐落於義大利 Piedmont 的 Barbaresco 產區核心地帶，歷經四代家族傳承，以釀造極致 Nebbiolo 葡萄酒聞名。1955 年由 Albino Rocca 與父親 Giacomo 創立，從葡萄農轉型為頂尖生產者，1980 年代在第二代莊主 Angelo Rocca 的革新下，引入單一園（single-vineyard）裝瓶概念，將酒莊推升至國際高度。如今由 Angelo 的女兒們與女婿 Carlo 延續使命，融合傳統技藝與現代精準。

葡萄園與永續哲學
酒莊擁有 18 公頃葡萄園，涵蓋 Ronchi、Ovello 等特級地塊，土壤以富含海洋化石的鈣質泥灰岩（calcareous marl）為主，賦予酒液礦物骨架與結構力道。秉持低干預理念，實施有機種植（未認證）、夜間手工採摘，並採用天然酵母自發發酵。酒莊更以太陽能板與雨水回收系統實踐環保，展現對土地的深刻敬意。
