- A refined and stylish garnet-colored wine with a full-flavored palate of ripe red cherries and spicy notes typical of the Nebbiolo grape. The evident varietal fruit and vanilla overtones are supported by a full-bodied structure through to an elegant, lingering finish. Founded by Giovanni Sartirano, San Silvestro, and has been passed down through four generations today, it is run by cousins Paolo and Guido Sartirano. Following the family traditions and ethos, they produce modern wines that express the traditional varieties of the Piedmont region and its distinctive terroir.
The grapes were carefully sorted, gently crushed and destemmed prior to fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28 to 30°C. Maceration on the skins lasted 10 days, with daily pump-overs of the cap, ensuring good extraction of colour and flavours. The wine was aged for 12 months in large Slavonian oak casks, imparting complexity and rounding out the tannins.

| Winery | Nebbiolo, the noble variety from Piedmont, gets the name from ‘pruina’, a substance found on the skins of the berries that makes them look as though they are covered by fog. Fog translates as ‘nebbia’ or ‘bruma’ in Italian. Additionally, it is during the foggy season, between October and November that the Nebbiolo variety ripens, hence the name of the cuvée Nebbiolo d'Alba D.O.C. ‘Brumo’. The vines are planted in soils which are made up of marl clay and sand. The marl clay soils are typical of the Piedmont area and are known for imparting refreshing, natural acidity to the resulting wine. The sandy element of the soil is poor in nutrients so the vine develops deep roots which help to concentrate the flavours in the berries. The vines are sustainably cultivated and biodiversity is encouraged in the vineyard. |
