Notes from North Berkeley Imports:

"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.

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.

Cuvee notes: 

Estate vineyards are located in a natural amphitheater along the eastern edge of the appellation; this pure Nebbiolo combines fruit from the ‘Ronchi’ cru vineyard and from other estate vineyards. Aged for two years in large (20HL) Slavonian cask.
