Description
These Nebbiolo vines grow in La Morra, characterizing the wine with elegance, finesse and a high drinkability from a young age. Barolo is the most important wine of the region, it is a wine that requires patience in production, but then pays for itself with the result in the glass.
Estate
The Agricola Brandini estate, located in the village of Borgata Brandini in the commune of La Morra and sits at the top of a hill from which it enjoys the most amazing view of the surrounding landscape. They only grow indigenous grape varieties and everything is cultivated organically with a focus on the environment and nature. They produce outstanding wines from Dolcetto D’Alba, Barbera D’Alba, Langhe Rosso, Langhe Nebbiolo and Barolo. The Brandini estate, which includes about 14 hectares of Barolo-classified vineyards, is run by Piero Bagnasco and his daughters, Giovanna and Serena.
