Description
The Brandini winery is located in Piemonte in the town of La Morra, about 30 kilometers from Alba. The Italian region is known for its truffles and the great Barolo wines. The company is led by two very energetic ladies: Serena and Giovanna Bagnasco. They are convinced that growing grapes and making wine in an organic way is more a way of life than a production method. The ladies believe in the philosophy of treating the earth well and leaving it better than they found it. In addition, they place great emphasis on the quality of their wines.
Agricola Brandini has 18 hectares of vineyards located between La Morra, Serralunga d'Alba and Monforte d'Alba. Serena and Giovanna produce a wide range of high quality wines including Barolo, Dolcetto d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba, Nebbiolo, Arneis and sparkling wines including Moscato d'Asti.
This Barolo comes from the heart of the Barolo region, namely from the famous town of La Mora. Of course this is a 100% Nebbiolo. After manual picking from the organically managed vineyard (single vineyard), the wine first matured for 24 months in large oak barrels and then matured for another 12 months in the bottle before it became available. In the glass, the Agricola Brandini La Morra Barolo del Comune di La Morra has a ruby ​​red color. In the nose, the wine is still somewhat closed and, as befits a Barolo, just needs some rest and oxygen (just open the bottle 1-2 hours in advance). Extremely fine, spicy and then fruity, with floral notes of rose and currants. In the mouth a good body and exceptional softness, nicely structured followed by lively, young tannins with persistent persistence.
