Roc.k
In the 21st century, rock music continues to keep alive the spirit of its predecessors, albeit with the necessary modernisations.
The same can be said for our ROC.K wines selection that, thanks to their continuous evolution and experimentation, gives a contemporary touch to traditions.

Prosecco
Dynamic and pleasantly fruity, the Prosecco DOC of the ROC.K line gives its best during outdoor aperitifs, especially if accompanied by live music.
Light straw yellow to the eye, the nose expresses aromas of pear and notes rich in floral nuances. In the mouth, it gives a pleasant sensation of freshness, with a subtle and persistent perlage.

ROCK SONGS TO BE LISTENED TO AND RE-HEARD
SMALL HANDBOOK
OF ROCK MUSIC
(WITH THE DOT)
At Viticultori d 'Italia, we write rock ROC.K, with the dot. A dot that does not indicate a pause or the end of a sentence of accomplished sense, as Italian grammar would like, but that graphically represents all the subgenres of rock culture and the idea of rebellion and non-conformity that characterises them.

AMARONE DOCG
Our journey in the rock world can only begin in the 1950s with Elvis Presley and his eponymous debut album. The first album ever to sell over a million copies. Album whose cover inspired the graphics of The Clash’s double album London Calling, released in 1979.
In the ’60s, the media became increasingly important, the miniskirts shortened, and Apollo 11 landed on the moon. As a result, the Amarone that is poured into a glass has the sound of the debut album of Velvet Underground, The Velvet Underground & Nico, whose producers included Andy Warhol, who designed the famous cover.
VALPOLICELLA RIPASSO DOC
You can’t think of the ’70s without talking about amplified guitars, drums and electronic technologies, but above all, without talking about David Bowie. So how can we not raise a beautiful glass of Valpolicella Ripasso, one of the finest Italian red wines, to the notes of Rebel Rebel?
A tip for the true fans of David Bowie, look on streaming platforms for his version of Volare (Nel blu dipinto di blu) by Domenico Modugno, which he recorded in 1986 on the occasion of the film “Absolute Beginners”.
In the 80s theme, it becomes almost obligatory to uncork a bottle of Valpolicella Ripasso while listening to Psychocandy, the debut album by The Jesus and Mary Chain, preferably at high volume. An album, the only one, released by the band with Bobby Gillespie – future leader of Primal Scream – known for playing the drums while standing, just like Moe Tucker of Velvet Underground did. However, you can safely drink the Valpolicella Ripasso even when seated.
VALPOLICELLA SUPERIORE DOC
Please celebrate with us the return of John Frusciante in the Red Hot Chili Peppers in the 90s, and take a sip of Valpolicella Ripasso on the notes of Californication. The eponymous album – practically a list of hits – came first in the standings not only in Italy but also in Australia, Finland, Norway, New Zealand, Spain and Sweden.
For lovers of the 2000s, we recommend you pour a couple of glasses of Valpolicella Ripasso while listening to the single Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand, one of the most successful rock pieces of these years. Hovering between a love song and a reference to the events of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, many believe that the title of this song is nothing more than the archduke’s plea to his murderers. He was hoping that, after killing his wife, they would also kill him because he could no longer live without her love.
PROSECCO DOC
The 2010s embraced the sound of Vampire Weekend’s Modern Vampires of the City album, so critically acclaimed that it was chosen by Rolling Stones magazine as number 1 on the “50 Best Albums of 2013” list. A glass of Prosecco on the notes of Obvious Bicycle is an unparalleled taste and auditory experience.
For the 2020s, we toast to an Italian group: Måneskin. Join us in swigging a bottle of Prosecco on the notes of Zitti and Buoni, remembering the victories at the Sanremo Festival in 2021 and the Eurovision Song Contest of the same year. Be good, listen to the original version, and remember that censorship and wine never get along.
