Wine Advocate
Bruno Rocca's beautiful 2015 Barbaresco sees fruit sourced from various parcels, including the lower part of the Currà cru and the Fausoni vineyard. The farming crew was especially careful not to pull too many leaves during this hot summer, thus safeguarding much of the wine's natural acidity. Those watchful farming procedures also did much to guarantee primary fruit freshness and purity. Those results include dark cherry and blackberry aromas with spicy herbal notes on the close. The wine's texture is silky, and the tannins show a mild point of dryness.

Wine Spectator
A taut and solidly built red, this exhibits cherry, strawberry, tar and earth flavors. Assertive tannins take hold on the finish, but this stretches out in a subtle way. Needs a few years to get past the structure.
