Morphologische Bodenbeschaffenheit
Hervorgehend aus Weinbergen der Gemeindengebiete von Barolo, Monforte d’Alba und Novello, also den Süd-West Lagen der Produktionszone. Dies ist jener Barolo der seit Anfang der 70er Jahre immer produziert wurde – in dieser Zeit hat dann die Kelterung von Einzellagenweinen begonnen. In diesem Wein kommt auf angenehme Weise die charaktervolle Verbindung der unterschiedlichen Bodenbeschaffenheiten und mikroklimatischen Bedingungen zum Ausdruck. Er wird 2 Jahre in großen Fässern und 1 Jahr in der Flasche ausgebaut.

Kelterungsmethode
Die Kelterungsmethode entspricht jener unserer Einzel-Lagenweine, jedoch mit kürzerer Maischegärung. Nach Meinung von Giovan Battista Croce (1606), stammt der Name Nebbiolo aus dem Gebrauch des Adjektives „nobile“ (adelig / edel) ab; aus diesem Grund bauen wir unsere Barolo Weine gerne in großen Fässern aus slawonischer Eiche mit einem Fassungsvermögen von 1500 – 3000 lt. aus, (aus im Feuer gebogenen (ausgefeuerten) aber nicht getoasteten Fassdauben). Niemals jedoch bauen wir Barolo in neuen Fässern aus – in den ersten Jahren werden diese Fässer für den Barbera verwendet. Da wir den Nebbiolo für eine edle Rebsorte mit elegantem Entwicklungspotenzial halten.

Genusserlebnis – Kombination
Aus der Vielfalt der Barolo Weine die wir auf unserem Weingut produzieren, ist dies jener Wein der sich ideal für jeden Genießer eignet um in die Welt des Barolo Weines einzusteigen. Mit einer feinen Struktur ausgestattet, ist dieser Barolo gewöhnlicherweise bereits als junger Wein sehr elegant und ausdrucksvoll in der Nase.

Drinking Window: 2024 - 2034 Antonio Galloni, November 2022 The 2019 Barolo is a gorgeous entry-level offering from Brezza. In fact, it's one of the best editions of this wine I can remember tasting. Bright, translucent and full of character, the straight Barolo is all charm. Crushed red berry fruit, orange peel, sage, mint and sweet spice all lend notable complexity throughout. Vineyard sites are San Lorenzo, Fossati, Ravera (Novello) and Bricco San Pietro. Fruit is harvested and vinified separately, then the lots are blended before malolactic fermentation.

The nose is aromatic, elegant, racy and offers a fine power/concentration. It reveals notes of blackberry and wild raspberry combined with small notes of ripe red berries as well as a hint of rose, gray pepper, discreet hints of blond tobacco and a very discreet hint of hazelnut. The palate is fresh, fruity, well-balanced, precise and offers a beautiful fresh/ mineral frame, suavity, a small strightness as well as a beautiful finesse of the grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of black cherry, plum and small notes of ripe red berries associated with touches of violet, roses well as discreet hints of liquorice and very discreet/ imperceptible hint of ripe laurel berries (in the background). Tannins are elegant and fine. There are hints of almond and chocolate on the finish (bring a fine chews).

Pale ruby with orange tinges. Unusually reductive at the beginning, but improves with air. Really shy and reluctant but with wonderful coating tannins. Very elegant palate weight and good length. Genuine. (WS)

Leather and meaty charcuterie bouquet; richer, denser palate with good fleshiness and texture. Sweeter fruit and more charm than the 2012, and very long. A real charmer.

huon HOOKE 2012 2016 90

Fresh earth and leather bouquet; intense and soft in the mouth, mellow and gently drying. Dried flowers. Warmth of alcohol and tannin resonates on the aftertaste. Long finish.

Wine Align 2006 2011 90

Here's a pleasant, neither modern nor rustic example, with a fine blend of old school floral perfume, erath and leather notes coupled with sweet ripe wild starberry and rasberry flavours. The palate is fullish, firm, more rustic than modern, and all the more authentic for it, leading into a long finish. A fine and balanced example all in all, an more than fair value.

Wine Align 2010 Wine Align 2015 91

Classic, old school Barolo with dusty, faded flowers and dried red berry flavour, as well as plenty of resinous herbal notes. Perhaps not the most riveting example, but certainly representative.

Wine Align 2011 Wine Align 2016 92

Penetrating and intense on the nose, this has classic nebbiolo perfume of liquorice-spiced red fruit, fresh road tar and faded violet and roses in the textbook spectrum. The palate is a bit stewed, though keeps it together on the back of firm, woolly tannins. The finish lingers on a distinctly medicinal edge. I'd tuck this away for another 2-3 years at least for the maximum expression - it's not intended to be a fruity, early drinking wine to be sure
