Summer conditions were largely stable, with harvest beginning in early October and finishing on October 13. The vintage produced wines with excellent fruit character, structure and freshness, making 2021 a particularly strong year for Barbaresco.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinemaking Techniques\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade from 100% Nebbiolo grapes from the prestigious Rabajà vineyard, the grapes were hand harvested and carefully selected before being destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks, with individual parcels vinified separately for around 20 to 25 days. The wine was then matured in French oak casks for approximately 14 to 16 months before blending and bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Deep garnet red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAroma:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Raspberry, cherry, violet and rosehip with subtle floral and savoury notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePalate:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Full-bodied and elegant, with ripe red fruit, bright acidity, firm yet polished Nebbiolo tannins and refined mineral character\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinish:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Long, persistent and beautifully structured, with lingering fruit, spice and earthy nuances\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• 100% Nebbiolo from the prestigious Rabajà cru\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Full-bodied with refined structure and firm tannins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Aromatic profile of red berries, cherries and violets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Excellent balance between acidity, fruit and oak\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Well suited to extended cellaring\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood Pairing Recommendations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs beautifully with Piedmontese pasta such as ravioli del plin, truffle dishes, grilled red meats, beef, lamb and rich game dishes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruno Rocca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44347036303540,"sku":"VP-BRBRDIB21-1P","price":239.15,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/5805\/8164\/files\/bruno-rocca-rabaja-500x800_994675cf-7244-4a7e-a1a1-718c75b3233a.webp?v=1786706991","url":"https:\/\/justwines.com.au\/products\/bruno-rocca-barbaresco-rabaja-docg-italy-2021-1-bottle-1","provider":"Just Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
