WARNING

Luretta Bocadirosa 2023 is an Italian white wine.  The vine that has come to represent the Colli Piacentini region carries an ancient story—one that traces back to the Peloponnese in Greece. While the precise details of its journey may be lost to time, what matters is that this grape, Malvasia Aromatica di Candia, took root in this Italian province centuries ago and has flourished into a multifaceted white wine that brings with it a remarkable variety of flavors.

True to Luretta's philosophy of honoring both French precision and Mediterranean soul, Boca Di Rosa takes an unconventional approach to this aromatic varietal. Rather than the typical light and sparkling style often associated with Malvasia, Luretta proposes something bolder—a wine that is firm, intense, and full-bodied. This is the only way, they believe, to truly respect the rich character of this very special grape variety.

Tasting Notes:

The aromatics are captivating and complex: Mediterranean herbs—wild thyme, rosemary, and sage—mingle with the fresh spontaneity of elderflower and the delicate sweetness of white blossoms. On the palate, the wine reveals its distinctive character with surprising weight and intensity. Layers of ripe stone fruit, honeyed apricot, and citrus zest unfold alongside those herbal notes, while a distinctive minerality and bright acidity provide structure and balance to the wine's generous body. The finish is long and aromatic, leaving impressions of orange blossom, herbs, and a subtle salinity that speaks to its ancient Mediterranean heritage.

This is a wine of substance and personality—a full-bodied drink without equal that honors centuries of winemaking tradition while embracing Luretta's bold, unconventional vision.
