Barbaresco

2020 Barbaresco Nebbiolo

The Bruno Rocca Barbaresco, a stunning red wine from the renowned Barbaresco region, showcases the extraordinary qualities of the Nebbiolo grape. With its medium-plus body, the wine exudes an alluring presence in the glass, inviting you to explore its complex character. The acidity shines through with a lively brightness, balancing the wine's structure and enhancing its food-friendly nature. Fruit intensity is prominent, highlighting notes of dark cherry, raspberry, and plum, intertwined with subtle hints of rose petal and tar that Nebbiolo is celebrated for. Tannins are notable yet elegant, providing a firm backbone without overshadowing the wine's charm. This wine is crafted to be dry, allowing the generous fruit and earthy undertones to flourish, making it a delightful companion to rich, savory dishes. The 2020 vintage encapsulates the essence of Barbaresco and is a testament to the region's artistry in winemaking.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
