This past weekend, the rich nuances of Italy’s winemaking heritage were celebrated in the beating heart of Rome – Trastevere. Hortus Vini, the festival of native Italian grape varieties, transformed Rome’s Botanical Garden into a true wine lover’s paradise. And in this fascinating landscape of winemaking excellence, one name shone with a particular light: Rocca Bernarda.
Friulano, the region’s native grape variety, has over time become the symbol of a strong and distinctive winemaking identity, and Vineis is its most authentic expression. Thanks to its elegant complexity and balanced aromatic profile, Vineis quickly won over the Hortus Vini audience, giving them an intoxicating taste of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
During the three magical evenings of Hortus Vini, wine lovers had the chance to discover the winemaking treasures of Italy’s different regions, region by region, grape variety by grape variety. And among the many possible choices, Rocca Bernarda’s Vineis stood out for its authenticity and quality.
Rocca Bernarda continues to show how loyalty to tradition and attention to terroir can produce wines of exceptional quality. With its Vineis, the Friulian producer has won over the Roman public, proudly carrying the name of Friuli Venezia Giulia forward in the Italian wine scene.
Hortus Vini once again proved to be an unmissable event for wine enthusiasts, a sensory journey discovering the best single-varietal Italian wines. The only judge was each person’s own taste, and the undisputed winners were the senses of everyone lucky enough to take part in this extraordinary celebration of Italian wine. And on this journey, Rocca Bernarda’s Vineis proved to be an unforgettable stop.
