Descrizione

Barolo Cerretta DOCG - Agricola Brandini is born in the heart of the Langhe, a renowned area in Piedmont known for the excellence of Nebbiolo. This cru expresses the identity of the territory with elegance and strength, thanks to a long aging process that highlights the complexity of the grape variety. The wine is characterized by an intense garnet red color, with orange reflections due to its maturation. On the nose, aromas of withered rose, sweet spices, and earthy hints typical of Cerretta emerge, accompanied by balsamic notes and ripe red fruits. On the palate, it reveals itself to be structured and harmonious, with velvety tannins and a persistent finish that invites long tastings.

The ideal pairing includes substantial dishes such as braised meats, game, or aged cheeses, capable of enhancing its complexity and depth. An authentic interpreter of the most refined Barolo tradition.

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.
