2016 was the first vintage of the second red wine, alongside Bramaterra, from Le Pianelle. It is a fresh, fruity interpretation of the Nebbiolo, Croatina, and Vespolina grapes, with a higher proportion of Croatina. The winery follows the traditional grape variety profile of the Bramaterra region. Spontaneous fermentation is followed by maceration and aging in French oak, as well as one year in the bottle, before the Al Forte is ready for customers after a total of three years.

Le Pianelle

In Alto Piemonte, this is 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, this cultural heritage was somewhat lost during industrialization.

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

The current 2023 vintage of Al Posto dei Fioris was rated with a proud 93 points by the second largest wine publication based in the USA.

There, the hard work of the highly knowledgeable team at the winery—assembled and staying together from the start, mainly consisting of Cristiano Garella, Andrea Zanetta, and Fabio Zambolin—has been appreciated with good reviews for years.

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

Definitely try it. The 2016 vintage of the top red wine Bramaterra is already sold out. (Except in a vertical case exclusively here in the Piemont Express)
