Descrizione

Brezza Barolo DOCG is made from Nebbiolo grapes, Lampia sub-variety, grown in the municipalities of Barolo, Monforte d’Alba and Novello, in the south-western part of the appellation. The vineyards lie at around 300 metres above sea level, on clay-silt, sandy and silty soils, with both eastern and western exposures. The Brezza family has produced this Barolo for generations, bringing together the distinctive characteristics of different soils and microclimates in a balanced expression of the territory.

Winemaking follows the method used for the family’s cru wines, with a shorter maceration period. The wine is aged for two years in large Slavonian oak casks holding 1,500 to 3,000 litres, followed by a further year in bottle. Compared with the cru wines, it has a more moderate structure, while generally offering an expressive nose and notable elegance even when young. A traditional Piedmontese red with refined character, it is an accessible introduction to the Barolo style and to Brezza’s classic approach.

Winery history

The Brezza family has owned vineyards in Barolo since 1885; the company name comes from Giacomo Brezza and the first documented bottling dates to the early 20th century. The business has remained family-run and has developed by preserving the historic cellars while combining tradition with some technological interventions in winemaking.

Production philosophy

Enhancing the crus and the Langhe territory, prioritizing winemaking that respects the grapes' characteristics: a traditional approach for the great reds and stainless-steel vinification for the fresher styles. Cultivation is oriented toward organic farming, as evidenced by the company's certification.

Terroir and vineyards

The winery is located in the municipality of Barolo, Piedmont. Its estate vineyards include parcels within the MGA of Cannubi, Castellero and Sarmassa; there are also vineyard plots in other municipalities of the Langhe such as Monforte d'Alba, Novello and in the area between Alba and Diano d'Alba.
