2023 Langhe Nebbiolo Fralu Magnum 1.5 L

Experience the soul of the Langhe on a grander scale. The 2023 Bruno Rocca "Fralù" Magnum offers the same meticulous expression of the family’s respected estate, but in a format designed for sharing and superior aging. Named after Bruno’s children, Francesco and Luisa, this 1.5-liter bottle represents the vibrant future of the estate and the ultimate centerpiece for a long lunch or celebratory dinner.

The Tasting Experience

• Appearance: A brilliant, translucent ruby red. In the Magnum format, the wine maintains its youthful luminosity even longer.

• Nose: An expansive and airy bouquet. High-toned notes of wild raspberry, red currant, and black cherry are layered with the estate’s signature floral notes of crushed rose petals and violet, followed by a sophisticated hint of sweet tobacco and spice.

• Palate: Harmonious and exceptionally well-balanced. The 2023 vintage delivers a juicy, medium-bodied profile. While approachable now, the 1.5L format allows the firm, polished tannins to integrate with even more grace, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish.

Why We Love the Magnum

While the standard bottle is perfect for a quiet evening, the 1.5L Magnum is the "connoisseur’s choice." Because of the larger volume of wine relative to the oxygen in the neck, the "Fralù" ages more slowly and evenly in this format, preserving that electric freshness Bruno Rocca is known for.

Crafted from younger vines in Neive and Barbaresco, it is fermented in stainless steel and aged for 8–12 months in French oak. This results in a wine that possesses the DNA of a legendary Barbaresco but with an immediate, convivial drinkability.
