The Bruno Rocca 2013 Barbaresco Maria Adelaide pours from the bottle with a medium garnet color and an elegantlycompact appearance. The bouquet has moved away from primary intensity to embrace some beautiful tertiary definition;however, it appears lively and bright nonetheless. This special bottling (made with a selection of the estate's best fruit)shows lots of the proverbial red fruit energy (as opposed to dark fruit) that is so specific to Nebbiolo. Maria Adelaideundergoes a more drawn out oak regime with 18 months in barrique followed by another 12 months in oak casks
