The Langhe Nebbiolo ‘Fralù’ 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 boasts at least two centuries, as documented by notarial records that report the presence of the Rocca family in the municipality of Barbaresco since 1834. Two were the moments that marked the turning point for the estate: 1958, the year a vineyard in Rabajà, one of the most prestigious crus of the entire denomination, was purchased, and 1978, when Bruno Rocca began labeling the first bottles under the family name. The ‘Fralù’ is the bottle that showcases the family style, giving a taste of the quality level of the Rocca wines.
The ‘Fralù’ 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 ripening stage, manual harvesting is carried out, followed by red winemaking through fermentation alcoholic in stainless steel tanks accompanied by 12-15 days of maceration on the skins. Once the fermentation process is complete, the liquid is transferred to French oak barriques for the aging phase, which lasts for a period of 8 to 12 months. After an adequate further resting in glass, the wine is finally ready for market release.
The Langhe Nebbiolo Bruno Rocca ‘Fralù’ has a bright ruby red color with garnet reflections. The aromatic profile consists of precious scents of red fruits and rose petals, enriched by spicy and mineral nuances. The taste development is harmonious, fine, and intense, endowed with an incisive fresh-salty verve and a balanced tannic structure. The finale emphasizes irresistible fruity and delicately spicy sensations.
