The Rocca family sold grapes and bulk wine here from the 1940s before Albino began bottling under his own name; his son Angelo built the modern estate, and since Angelo's death in 2012 it has been run by his three daughters, with Paola making the wine. The estate works close to twenty hectares across Barbaresco, Neive and San Rocco Seno d'Elvio. Montersino was planted in 1999 on marl with a high proportion of limestone and sand, faces south-west, and has been vinified on its own since the 2012 harvest, the family's way of showing what this cooler, higher ground does with the variety. It spends about twenty months in oak casks and a few months in bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirm on release and worth five to ten years, or an hour in a decanter.
