Description

Aromas of grilled porcini mushroom, botanical herbs, new leather and baked plum shape the nose. Brawny and bold, the forward, concentrated palate offers raspberry jam, licorice and a hint of coffee bean alongside enveloping, close-grained tannins that leave a firm, drying finish. Drink sooner rather than later to capture the remaining energy.
Single vineyard Brandini, La Morra. Temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks with maceration of the skins for 4 weeks and frequent pumping over. Aging in large oak barrels (20-60hl) for 30 months followed by 6-8 months in bottle.

Winemaker : Giovanna and Serena Bagnasco
Brandini produces wines that are an expression of the territory in full respect of the Langa tradition. They follow step by step the transformation of grapes into wine thanks to the attention of their winemakers and the use of the best technologies. At the center of all their choices is the search for the highest quality, from the vineyard to the bottle.

They devote great care and attention to the vines and cultivate with a sense of the measure to get the best grapes possible. Each land has very different characteristics and expressions, so they chose to extend the 18 hectares between La Morra, Serralunga; Alba, Monforte; Alba They grow different vines and in 2015, completed the selection of their 4 Barolo Crus: R56 (Brandini), Annunziata, Meriame, Cerretta.
