- NEBBIOLO 'FRAL™' BRUNO ROCCA 2022 DESCRIPTION
- The Langhe Nebbiolo 'Fral¹' by Bruno Rocca is an enchanting expression of Nebbiolo produced by a historic winery in the Barbaresco area. The bond between the Rocca family and this land goes back at least two centuries, as attested by notarial documents that report the presence of the Roccas in the municipality of Barbaresco as early as 1834. There were two moments that marked a turning point for the estate: 1958, the year in which a vineyard was purchased in Rabaj , one of the most prestigious crus in the entire denomination, and 1978, when Bruno Rocca began to label the first bottles under the family name. The 'Fral¹' is the bottle that presents the family style, giving a taste of the quality level of the Rocca wines.
- The 'Fral¹' Langhe Nebbiolo Bruno Rocca originates from only Nebbiolo grapes grown according to sustainable practices on clay and limestone soils. When the grapes have reached the ideal stage of ripeness, they are harvested by hand, followed by red vinification through alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks accompanied by 12
- 15 days of maceration on the skins. Once the fermentation process is complete, the liquid is transferred into French oak barriques for the aging phase which lasts for a period of between 8 and 12 months. After an adequate further rest in glass, the wine is finally ready for release on the market.
- The Langhe Nebbiolo Bruno Rocca 'Fral¹' has a bright ruby red color with garnet reflections. The aromatic profile is composed of fine aromas of red fruits and rose petals, embellished with spicy and mineral nuances. Harmonious, fine and intense taste development, with an incisive fresh
- savoury verve and a balanced tannic texture. The epilogue insists on irresistible fruity and delicately spicy sensations.
