Bricco Voghera

2009 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Luigi Scavino Bricco Voghera is a stunning example of a red wine from the prestigious Barolo region, showcasing the exquisite depth characteristic of the Nebbiolo varietal. This vintage from 2009 greets the eye with a beautiful ruby hue, hinting at the wine's complexity. The wine presents a full-bodied profile with a vibrant acidity that brightens its rich flavors, offering a delightful mouthfeel. Fruit intensity is prominent, bursting with notes of dark cherry and blackberry, while subtle hints of dried rose petals and earthy undertones enhance the aromatic complexity. Tannins are notable yet refined, providing structure and age-worthiness without being overwhelming. This wine finishes with a satisfying dryness that beckons another sip, truly embodying the elegance and finesse for which Barolo is renowned.

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.
