Roscaleto

2008 Barbera D'alba Barbera

The Enzo Boglietti Roscaleto, a captivating Barbera from the esteemed Barbera d'Alba region, showcases a beautiful red hue that entices the senses. This 2008 vintage is a delightful example of how this varietal can harmoniously meld vibrant fruit characteristics with refreshing acidity, creating a balanced and mouthwatering experience. The wine displays inviting notes of dark cherry and ripe plum, making it fruit-forward and appealing to enthusiasts. With well-integrated tannins that provide structure without overpowering, this wine maintains an easygoing yet robust profile. The Roscaleto is dry, allowing the expressive fruit and earthy undertones to shine through, resulting in a wonderfully enjoyable wine that pairs beautifully with savory dishes or stands alone as a charming accompaniment to conversation.

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.
