Piedmont

Nebbiolo grapes are the basis of Bramaterra. According to the DOC regulations, it consists of 80% Nebbiolo and 20% Vespolina/Croatina. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand in several passes; the different varieties and locations are brought in and processed separately. The first phase of winemaking (fermentation and maceration) takes place in open Grenier oak vats. The young wine is then aged in barrels that have been used multiple times and subsequently in large Stockinger oak barrels, before being bottled after two years. There, it matures for another one to two years before it can go on the shelf.

A wine of great elegance and untamed power. In the glass, it presents itself in a lively ruby red. On the nose, one can sense the aromas of forest fruits (blackberry, black currant, raspberry) as well as floral notes of violet. Added to this is the minerality from the porphyry soils, a distinct note of white pepper. We are sure – this wine will still make waves.

The Pianelle

In Alto Piemonte, one can find this, unfortunately, still only a hidden gem in Germany.

The winery founded by Dr. Dieter Heuskel focuses in Brusnengo on reviving the DOC Bramaterra. Once a world-renowned region for top wines, the cultural heritage was somewhat lost during industrialization.

Now, after Alto Piemonte has been considered a "hidden gem" in the USA for years, larger wineries have also started to plant wine in Alto Piemonte, relying on climate change, and not just in Barolo or Barbaresco.

From the USA, the current vintage 2023 of Al Posto dei Fiori was rated with proud 93 points by the second-largest wine publication based there.

There, the hard work of the highly skilled team at the winery, which has been assembled and remained together since the beginning - primarily consisting of Cristiano Garella, Andrea Zanetta, and Fabio Zambolin - has been appreciated with good ratings for years.

While in Germany, probably only a fraction of wine drinkers knows what to make of Alto Piemonte...

Definitely worth trying. The 2016 vintage of the top red wine Bramaterra is already sold out. (Except in a vertical box exclusively here at Piemont Express)
