Bruno Rocca

2009 Barbaresco Nebbiolo

Global Wine Company Bruno Rocca is a remarkable red wine crafted from the Nebbiolo grape, hailing from the prestigious Barbaresco region. This 2009 vintage showcases a beautifully deep color that captivates the eye. With a full-bodied profile, it promises a luxurious mouthfeel, complemented by pronounced acidity that brings a vibrant brightness to each sip. The tannins are notable yet elegantly structured, providing a firm backbone that enhances the wine's complexity. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing flavors of dark cherry and plum intertwined with floral notes and hints of earthiness, encapsulating the essence of its terroir. As a well-balanced wine, it is unmistakably dry, making it an excellent companion for rich dishes or as a delightful sipper on its own.

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.
