  • Tax included.

The Barbaresco DOCG Rocche Massalupo is a special wine made entirely from Nebbiolo grapes in the town of Alba. The vineyard sits 300 meters above sea level, facing west, with soil made of grey marl. The vines are 20 years old and are harvested in October.

After harvest, the wine ages for a year in big French oak barrels, adding complexity. It has a ruby-red color with garnet hints. The smell is strong, like withered violets, maraschino cherries, and a bit of tobacco. The taste is full, with a noticeable tannin feel typical of Nebbiolo grapes. The aging process adds extra layers to its flavor.

This Barbaresco wine reflects the Alba region's unique qualities and the care put into its making.

Region

Piemonte

Piemonte’s terroir is shaped by its diverse landscape, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south, creating a continental climate with cold winters, warm summers, and significant temperature shifts between day and night. These conditions help the grapes develop acidity, structure, and aromatic complexity. The region’s soils vary widely, influencing the character of its wines. In the Langhe, marl and clay with limestone-rich areas give Nebbiolo its power and aging potential, while Monferrato’s mix of sand and calcareous soils results in softer, fruitier expressions, particularly for Barbera and Dolcetto. Further north in Alto Piemonte, ancient volcanic and glacial deposits create mineral-rich soils that enhance Nebbiolo’s freshness and elegance. Rolling hills, foggy mornings, and well-drained soils across the region contribute to Piemonte’s ability to produce refined, long-lived wines that express a strong sense of place.
