Description / Reviews
"The Nebbiolo d’Alba from Albino Rocca family was born in the “Terra di mezzo” a place in-between, where the Nebbiolo grape cannot claim the name Barbaresco nor Barolo. The first vinification took place in 2007 thanks to the grapes on the western side of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio." - Albino Rocca, Winemaker
"Like most Rocca wines, the Nebbiolo d’Alba comes from a single vineyard—a parcel between Barolo and Barbaresco in the westernmost section of the Seno d'Elvio subzone. Aptly, this area is known locally as Terra di Mezzo: Middle Earth. Here, the Nebbiolo vines range from 15 to 60 years old. The Rocca family matured this wine for eight months in large Austrian and German oak casks." - Bibendum, Importer
