- The Brezza Dolcetto d'Alba 2022 from Italy's Piedmont region. This vibrant, fruity wine boasts delightful notes of black cherry, crushed cassis, blueberry, and wild red berries, complemented by hints of licorice and almond. With a harmonious balance and silky smooth tannins, it culminates in a lovely, lingering finish. Produced by the environmentally conscious Brezza Giacomo E Figli since 1885, this wine is certified organic, reflecting the family's dedication to sustainable viticulture. Winemaker Enzo Brezza takes a traditional approach with minimal cellar intervention to maintain the wine's freshness and purity. Indulge in this exquisite wine, sealed with glass Vinolok closures for optimal quality.
The selected grapes were destemmed, crushed and placed in stainless steel tanks where fermentation took place at controlled temperatures not exceeding 26°C. Maceration lasted seven days, and the wine was pressed off the skins. It was then transferred to another stainless steel tank, which underwent malolactic conversion at 18°C. The wine was made without the influence of oak, and once fermentation was complete, the wine was stored in cement tanks until bottling. The wine was produced organically, with the minimal addition of sulphur.
It is a lively, fruity wine with notes of black cherry, crushed cassis, blueberry and wild red berries complemented by hints of liquorice and almond. It is harmoniously balanced with silky smooth tannins and a lovely long finish.

Winery | The two-hectare vineyard has been organically farmed since 2010 and is located just outside Barolo's village. Situated at a 300-metre elevation, the vines are planted with a south-westerly orientation, capturing the afternoon sunshine. The Dolcetto vines are Guyot pruned and especially trained in sand, silt and clay soils. Planted at a density of 4,630 vines per hectare, they are carefully cultivated by hand, with green harvesting and thinning taking place to control yields and increase the flavour concentration in the grapes. Green manure is employed to enhance the vitality of the soil, and the cuttings from the grass cover crops are left on the soil to help increase the nutrient value. By organic viticulture, copper and sulphur are used when necessary; herbicides and pesticides are not employed. Harvest takes place by hand at optimum maturity. |
