2022 Brandini La Morra Rocche del Santo Barbera d'Alba

The Brandini winery is located in Piedmont in the village of La Morra, about 30 kilometers from Alba. The Italian region is known for its truffles and great Barolo wines. The company is run by two very energetic ladies: Serena and Giovanna Bagnasco. They are convinced that growing grapes and making wine organically 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 a very high priority on the quality of their wines.

Agricola Brandini owns 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 Barbera D'Alba comes from the Rocche del Santo vineyard located in La Morra. After being hand-picked from the organically managed vineyard, the Barbera grapes are allowed to ferment spontaneously, and the wine ages for 12 months in large oak barrels, followed by another 6 months of bottle aging before becoming available. This is a concentrated wine and certainly not an average Barbera D'Alba. The wine has an impenetrable violet color and an enveloping mouthfeel. Its characteristic acidity is balanced by the short wood aging, resulting in a balance and character that awaits discovery; the wine is not dominated by the wood but gains that extra complexity. Intense fruity bouquet of berries, blackberries, and spices. The taste is intensely fruity with a bouquet of berries, blackberries, and spices. The wine is full-bodied with the characteristic, delicious acid balance befitting a good Barbera.
