Descrizione

Barbera d'Alba DOC - Castellinaldo - Bric Cenciurio from Castellinaldo, a renowned denomination in the Langhe, represents a perfect combination of tradition and territory. This wine is made exclusively from the Barbera grape, cultivated on the hills near Alba, where the calcareous-clay soil gives vibrant acidity and structure to the fruit.

Bric Cenciurio stands out for its intense ruby color, accompanied by complex aromas of ripe red fruits, cherry, and plum, with slight spicy notes due to aging in wood. The vinification method, carefully managed, preserves the typical freshness of Barbera, while aging in large barrels adds softness and depth without weighing down the palate.

Of medium body, it is characterized by a balance between acidity and gentle tannins, ideal to accompany earthy dishes such as roasted meats and aged cheeses, enhancing the conviviality of Piedmontese tradition.

Winery history

The winery was established by combining family land around the historic vineyard called "Bric Cenciurio". The enterprise was launched in the early 1990s by Franco Pittatore and his brother-in-law Carlo Sacchetto, and is now carried on by their family members, who manage the vineyards in Barolo, Castellinaldo and Magliano Alfieri.

Production philosophy

Small-scale production: hands-on vineyard care, reduced use of synthetic chemicals, preservation of biodiversity and respect for the natural timing of grape ripening. In the cellar, winemaking techniques that preserve the expressive character of the grape variety and the land are preferred.

Terroir and vineyards

Headquartered in Barolo, with vineyards distributed between the municipality of Barolo and Roero areas such as Castellinaldo and Magliano Alfieri. The name derives from a historic plot in the Roero, an area characterized by marly soils and microclimates typical of the Langhe and the Roero.
