Franco Rocca
Cantina del Bricchetto, Franco Rocca, is located in the hills of Neive, in the heart of the Langhe. A small family business that cultivates 4.5 hectares of vineyard, which produces approximately 25,000 bottles of Barbaresco, Dolcetto, and Barbera D’Alba a year.
Franco’s vineyards have great exposure (South, Southeast) and he works to achieve a low yield of quality grapes, about 70ql per hectare. Franco and his wife Susan are responsible for all aspects of the vineyard and cellar.
Harvest is always done by hand with careful selection of grapes for the best quality in the finished wine.
