Description

The Barolo Cru "Brandini" from Cantina Agricola Brandini represents the authentic expression of Nebbiolo in the heart of the Langhe, a UNESCO heritage site and cradle of the renowned Barolo DOCG denomination. This cru, obtained from a careful selection of Nebbiolo grapes from vineyards with optimal exposure, embodies the elegance and complexity typical of the Piedmontese territory.

The aging takes place in oak barrels that provide structure and a spicy note without overpowering the delicate floral and balsamic aromas. In the glass, it presents an intense ruby color with garnet reflections, while on the nose, scents of rose, cherry, and tertiary aromas of leather and sweet spices unfold. The palate is persistent, harmonious, and well balanced by fresh acidity and velvety tannins, promising long aging.

Perfect with braised meats, red meats, and aged cheeses, the Barolo Brandini is a sensory journey between tradition and the magic of the Langhe terroir.

Winery history

The estate was developed by the Bagnasco family, beginning with Piero Bagnasco’s acquisition of the first vineyards in 2007. Over the years management has passed primarily to his daughters, Giovanna and Serena, who have consolidated production by focusing on Barolo crus and on converting the vineyard to organic farming. In 2015 the selection of the estate’s four Barolo crus was formalized, and in 2023 the estate expanded its offering with a hospitality project.

Production philosophy

A focus on organic farming and limited intervention in the cellar: organic practice is presented as a guiding principle rather than a mere production method, with the aim of faithfully expressing the terroir and the typicity of the grapes.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards located across La Morra, Serralunga d’Alba, Alba, Benevello and Lequio Berria. The estate showcases four Barolo crus: R56, Annunziata, Meriame and Cerretta.
