The Barolo DOCG "Castellero" by Brezza is a refined and intense expression of the Nebbiolo grape, grown in the prestigious Castellero area, in the heart of the Barolo territory. The Brezza winery, located in Barolo and with a long history dating back to 1885, is committed to the production of wines that faithfully reflect the terroir and uniqueness of each individual vineyard, following sustainable viticulture practices and a careful and respectful approach in the cellar .
Barolo "Castellero" has a deep garnet red color, which tends to acquire orange shades over time. On the nose, this wine reveals a complex and inviting bouquet, with notes of cherry and ripe red fruits, enriched by nuances of rose, violet, spices and a light touch of tobacco, typical of high quality Barolos.
In the mouth, the "Castellero" offers a solid and at the same time elegant structure, with fine and well-integrated tannins that contribute to a velvety texture. The acidity is well balanced, supporting a dynamic and harmonious sip, which evolves towards a long and persistent finish, with an aftertaste that recalls the olfactory notes and adds a pleasant minerality.
Ideal in combination with Piedmontese cuisine, such as red meats, truffle-based dishes and mature cheeses, Brezza's Barolo "Castellero" is also a wine that benefits from long aging, during which it can develop further aromatic nuances and taste.
