Intense ruby red in the glass, Angelo Rocca & Figli, Amornero Rosso Puglia opens with a heady bouquet of black cherries, blackberry, and ripe red fruits, layered with warming spice and subtle vanilla notes. The palate is round and well-balanced, with soft, unobtrusive tannins that make it immediately approachable. A versatile food wine—pair it with roasted meats, Mediterranean dishes, creamy polenta, aged cheeses, or a generous lasagna. Best served at 18°C, it will develop gracefully over 4–5 years from vintage, though it's equally rewarding to drink now.

About the Producer

At the end of 19th century, Francesco Rocca started his historical business by bulk wine. In 1936 his son Angelo enhanced the wine production and built up a cellar in Nardò, Apulia. In the 1960's, Ernesto Rocca, Angelo’s son, bought the first bottling line and started the distribution of products under the Rocca brand. In 1999, infatuated with Apulia and vines, he bought a farm in Leverano, in the heart of Salento.

In 2009, Rocca Family becomes the major shareholder of the historical winery Dezzani in Piedmont realising new commercial and productive synergies. Paolo, Marco, Luca and Matteo (Ernesto’s sons), sharing duties and responsibilities, run the family’s business, which includes also a building company and a leading trot horse stud farm. Emanuele and Ernesto Jr., sons of Luca and Marco respectively, represent proudly today the fifth generation in the wine world.
