Description
What kind of wine it is
Brezza's Langhe Nebbiolo is a red wine that expresses the vibrancy of the grape variety in its youth. On the nose, it offers a bouquet characterised by floral aromas of rose and violet, enhanced by a citrus note of orange zest. On the palate, it is smooth and light-bodied, providing a refreshing sip with polished tannins. Flavours of juicy strawberry and small wild berries blend with a pronounced saline streak, making it suitable even for summer menus and fish dishes. A brief decanting fully enhances its overall harmony.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the hills of Barolo, in Piedmont, from a vineyard cultivated according to the principles of organic farming. The Nebbiolo vines grow at around three hundred metres above sea level, enjoying an ideal west-facing exposure. The Guyot training system maintains a balanced density, with measured yields that favour the quality of the bunches. The specific soil and climate conditions of the area shape a dynamic profile and a clear expressive identity.
How it is produced
The production of Langhe Nebbiolo aims to preserve the integrity of the fruit. Fermentation with maceration on the skins lasts for a period between six and ten days. Afterwards, the wine is kept at a controlled temperature to encourage malolactic fermentation. The entire ageing process in steel excludes the use of wood, ensuring the fullest expression of Nebbiolo's varietal aromas. Bottling completes a process that guarantees great purity and freshness on the palate.
History and Curiosities
Brezza Langhe Nebbiolo 2024 originates from the hills of Barolo, from vines of the Lampia sub-variety, cultivated according to the organic method.

Every detail, from the historic Albeisa bottle to the innovative glass stopper, is designed to maintain the floral notes of rose and the vibrant saline streak, offering a fresh sip with finely polished tannins.

Located a short walk from the center of the small town of Barolo is immersed in the vineyards as well as the adjacent Restaurant and Hotel also family. Currently the Company is conducted in organic farming certified by the fourth generation. Proponents of tradition, we are convinced that today the best way to respect the spirit consists in not a priori close the door to innovation, particularly if this enables us to better protect and enhance its typical wines of Langa, the characteristics of the grapes and the various terroir.
The company's philosophy is to produce single-variety wines looking better vineyard with appropriate pruning and thinning accurate. We practice the use of green manure and compost that enhance the vitality of the soil and we use light equipment that reduce compaction and fuel consumption. Such meticulous care for the vines, with appropriate pruning, has preserved in excellent health so that some strains have reached the venerable age of 70 years.
With manual harvesting, carried out with great care, we try to pick the grapes at the right degree of maturity. In fact, they will then find all the harmony and balance of a great wine. In the cellar, we try to accompany this quality until the bottle. We work with a light hand, control temperature and spontaneous fermentation. The aging for wines that need it is traditional, in large casks made of Slavonian oak, with the planks bent on fire but not roasted.
The wines are aged in wood are neither filtered nor clarified. Ten years ago we decided to use for the closure of a significant amount of our bottles in an innovative glass stopper which provides, in our opinion, more guarantees respecting the typical characteristics of our wines. Read more
