Beauty and sophistication, exceptional purity, a very complete wine! Incredible complexity, perfume pops, savoury layers, orange zest, dark fruits, earth, and woody herbs are just the beginning. Line and length to the shape of the palate. Thirst quenching, yet with a density of flavour that rewards. Juicy acid with fine dusty tannins complete the picture.For anyone wanting to see what Alto Piedmont is capable of this is a great place to start!95% Spanna AKA Nebbiolo 5% Vespolina
The Alto is sharing its gems with us! Antoniotti's Bramaterra is a stunner. A blend of 70% Nebbiolo, 20% Croatina, 7% Vespolina & 3 % Bonarda, it just keeps giving, sniff after sniff offering up something new and special, layered, earthy, savoury, a little pine resin, spice, blue fruits and more. A richness of fruit, that I suspect is fortified by the Coratina and Vespolica, yet freshness rests beautifully in a cradle of suitably edgy Neb tannin that has you salivating for more!If this
