Description
What kind of wine it is
Bric Cenciurio Barolo is a still red wine from Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo grapes. Its expression in the glass reveals a profile of great balance, characterised by a classic red colour and delicate notes of dark fruit. On the palate, a structured tannic texture emerges, capable of ensuring prolonged flavour persistence and a harmonious finish. To enhance its qualities, it is recommended to decant for about an hour, ideal for preparing the wine to accompany succulent red meats, game and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
The origin of this red is rooted in Piedmont, within the historic Barolo production area. The wine takes shape through a careful blend of grapes grown on different soils, characterised by various exposures and altitudes. This agronomic variety allows for the collection of complementary nuances in a single fluid and complex interpretation. The provenance from distinct plots offers an authentic reading of the territory of origin, faithfully reflecting the variety of soils and the distinctive imprint of a region with a strong viticultural identity.
How it is produced
The production process respects local traditions, entrusting vinification and maturation to large barrels. After careful harvesting, the Nebbiolo grapes are sent for fermentation, then continue their evolution in wood. This slow resting period stabilises the overall balance and defines the tannins without overpowering the varietal character. The prolonged ageing also ensures remarkable longevity, allowing the wine to be kept in the cellar for over a decade and to express its full flavour potential over time.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1996, the family-run company Bric Cenciurio expresses the authenticity of the Piedmont region through its excellent Barolo DOCG. Committed to protecting biodiversity, the winery entrusts its grapes to oenologist Alessandro Pittatore. Clusters from various altitudes mature in large barrels according to tradition, enhancing the 2020 vintage. This care has been rewarded with 93 points from James Suckling.

Starting from here, in 1990 Franco Pittatore and his brother-in-law Carlo Sacchetto decided to merge their properties in Barolo and Roero, to give life to their dream: producing traditional high-quality wines. A dream, but also a solid project, carried out today by Franco's sons, Alessandro and Alberto, in their estate vineyards in Barolo, Novello, Castellinaldo, and Magliano Alfieri.
Their commitment to keeping alive the good agricultural practices learned from their ancestors, further improved by their oenological studies and continuous research, translates into good practices aimed to safeguard the natural cycles of the land.
Strictly manual labor, carried out with the same care and attention in each vineyard, a part of the land set aside to natural forest, thus renouncing to increase the production in favor of maintaining great biodiversity and an ideal microclimate, are the concrete signs of a commitment that continues in the cellar, with the maximum respect for the grapes and their natural times.
