More questions
The Barolo Riserva Vigna Bricco 2019 from Brezza immediately displays a distinct, vertical character: in the glass it shows a deep ruby with garnet highlights. The bouquet, typically Nebbiolo-like, ranges from dried flowers, ripe cherry and plum, while earthy undertones, tobacco and a gentle spiciness complete the picture. On the palate it reveals substantial structure, well-defined yet polished tannins and a lively acidity that keeps the sip taut and dynamic; the compact body makes the wine elegant and assertive. The tannic weave integrates with a sustained sapidity that enhances its persistence.
Balanced yet concentrated, this Barolo Riserva is intended for full-flavored dishes such as braised meats, roasted meats and aged cheeses, which showcase its depth. Decanting helps open and reveal the aromas, while patient cellaring will further heighten its complexity over time. Serve at around 16–18 °C and it is suitable both for contemplative drinking and for further aging in the cellar.

The story
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.
Awards and recognition
Recognition and ratings from specialist publications: for example, very positive evaluations by Vinous for Barolo and notable reviews in publications such as Falstaff and Decanter.
