More questions
The Pinot Nero DOC Bricco del Falco from Isolabella shows a ruby colour of medium intensity with transparent highlights. On the nose it offers notes of red fruits like cherry and raspberry, accompanied by floral hints and a light black pepper; the overall impression is fine and restrained, without aromatic exuberance. On the palate it displays a balance between freshness and structure: lively acidity, silky tannins and a saline texture supporting a medium-bodied profile, with pleasant persistence and a dry finish.
It is intended to accompany refined everyday cooking: roasted white meats, mushroom-based dishes, selected cured meats and medium-aged cheeses. Serve at a cool temperature, around 14–16 °C, in a large glass that highlights subtle aromas; a short aeration can help to open the aromatic profile. Bottle suitable both for informal dinners and occasions when an elegant, versatile red is sought.

The winery
Isolabella della Croce
Piedmont — Loazzolo (province of Asti), Alta Langa / Langa AstigianaItaly
Winery Isolabella della Croce (Loazzolo, Asti). Produces the Pinot Noir “Bricco del Falco” Piemonte DOC, made from 100% estate-grown grapes. Family-owned with 19th-century origins and a modern revival begun in 2001.
The story
Origins date to the 19th century with Egidio Isolabella (liqueur/vermouth maker). The original facility was destroyed in 1943; the family returned to winemaking and established the current project in Loazzolo in 2001 (Lodovico Isolabella della Croce, his wife Maria Teresa and their sons Luigi and Francesco). The estate reports about 100,000 bottles per year.
Production philosophy
A search for deep connection with the territory, respect for biodiversity and the ‘heroic’ viticulture of Loazzolo’s steep hills; an approach focused on quality, slowness and hospitality as core values.
Terroir and vineyards
Loazzolo (Alta Langa / Langa Astigiana). Vineyards at 500–550 m elevation on very steep slopes (reported inclines approaching 80%), calcareous-marly soils, microclimate with strong diurnal temperature swings that enhance freshness and structure. Production area for the estate’s Piemonte DOC Pinot Noir.
