From: Piedmont, Italy
Varietal: Nebbiolo
Tasting Notes: 2018 Villa Rosa Barbaresco A light bodied 2018 Nebbiolo. Amazing with aged cheese (manchego). Aromas of vanilla, rose, cherry, chocolate, leather, wet leaves, anise. Interesting play between light body, med+ tannins, and med+ acidity. Medium length on the finish with hints of dried strawberries and cedar.
Villa Rosa was created by the Opici family as a tribute to the late Rose Opici, a founder of the Opici Wine Group. Rose was partial to Piedmont’s indigenous grapes, particularly the white varietals, regularly enjoying a glass of Gavi with her favorite Italian fare or celebrating life with sweet bubbles from Asti.
From Asti to Barolo, Opici collaborated with some of Piedmont’s finest growers and producers, each specialist in their respective appellations.
In a sense, the Villa Rosa collection embodies Rose’s dynamic personality. Just as she was charismatic and full of life, these wines are fully-flavored, approachable, easy-going, and food-friendly selections.
