2021 Azienda Agricola Ronchi Barbaresco 375ml
This wine comes from a fourth-generation family estate nestled within the historic Ronchi vineyard near Neive, surrounded by the famed Montestefano and Moccagatta crus. This natural amphitheater captures the sun, yielding Nebbiolo of remarkable depth and elegance. The wine opens with aromas of black cherry, licorice, and subtle smoke, leading to a full-bodied palate that’s concentrated yet beautifully balanced. Refined tannins and a long, savory finish make it an excellent match for grilled red meats, pork sausages, or earthy mushroom dishes.
Sustainable farming practices, hand-harvested grapes, native yeast fermentation, aged for two years in large (20HL) Slavonian cask, bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Hand-crafted from field to bottle, craft shared as tradition from generation to generation—this is what makes Barbaresco from Azienda Agricola Ronchi so special.
Winemaker Giancarlo Rocca and now four generations of the Rocca clan live in a house built by the family, surrounded by ‘Ronchi’ cru vines. This natural amphitheater not only captures the sun to push Nebbiolo to perfect ripeness but also is stunningly picturesque.
Although we have worked with the Rocca family for more than a decade, their peerless Nebbiolo wines are still an insider’s find. The “Ronchi” cru runs along the eastern edge of the appellation, near the historic town of Neive. Bordered by ‘Montestefano’ to the north, where Nebbiolo shows a deep complexity and elegant tannins, and ‘Moccagatta’ (Muncagota) to the south, the source of silky Nebbiolo with delicate yet intense perfumes, ‘Ronchi’ combines the best of all these attributes in a wine that is deliciously unforgettable.
