Named after Bruno's children (Francesco + Luisa = Fralù) and sourced from significantly younger vineyards, Bruno Rocca Langhe Nebbiolo Fralù represents the most contemporary venture of this northern Italian wine estate.
Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for 7 to 10 days. Malolactic fermentation temperature is stabilized at around 21/22°C. The amount of sulfite at bottling is reduced to a minimum to preserve the freshness and character of the terroir. 8 to 12 months in second-hand French oak barrels.
Brilliant ruby red color with garnet highlights. Dense, elegant, and deep nose with fruit such as strawberry, raspberry, and black cherry. A harmonious and well-balanced palate with a pronounced tannic structure typical of Nebbiolo. Pairs well with truffle pasta, roast lamb, and roast duck.
The 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo Fralù is a serious, polished wine. Crushed flowers, red/purplish berry fruit and spice open first. Medium in body and persistent, with excellent supporting structure, the Fralù is gorgeous. The 2023 spent six months in used French oak barrels.
