Experience a taste of true Italian excellence with the Brezza Barolo 2020. This exceptional vintage hails from the Barolo region of Piedmont, an area renowned for its full-bodied wines cloaked in history and tradition. The century-old vineyard of Brezza is managed by Enzo Brezza -- the fourth generation of his family to create world-class wines.
Brezza Barolo 2020 was cultivated from vines planted on south-east facing slopes, making certain the grapes absorb the best of the morning sun. The wine undergoes traditional fermentation in Slavonian oak casks, securing the robust tannins that Barolos are known for.
Equipped with a deep garnet red colour, this elegant Nebbiolo varietal expresses rich flavours of dark cherries and plums, anchored by earthy undertones and spice notes. Its fine-grained tannin profile and balanced acidity promise a splendidly ageing potential.
Enjoy the unparalleled quality of the Brezza Barolo 2020, setting the benchmark for Italian finesse and craftsmanship.

The 2018 Barolo Cannubi is attractive, but also embryonic. Sweet tobacco, cedar, leather, dried herbs and crushed rose petal emerge, but only with some reluctance. Silky Cannubi tannins lend finesse, suggesting what is to come. Readers will have to be patient, as the 2018 is going to need a few years to be fully expressive. The 2018 is suave and very nicely balanced, especially for the year, but it is also the least expressive wine in the range today.Inc. VAT£402.53 -

The 2019 Barolo Cannubi is one of the best wines I have tasted from Brezza in a very long time. Sweet, perfumed and silky, the 2019 bristles with Cannubi character. Crushed red berry fruit, cedar, mint, rose petal and orange zest are some of the notes that grace this exquisite but potent Barolo. Give the tannins a few years to soften.Inc. VAT£326.38 -

With certified organic fruit from one of the most celebrated sites in the appellation, the Brezza 2020 Barolo Cannubi shows pretty intensity and focus. It offers aromas of iris root, lilac and wild blueberry. Indeed, it is quite floral in character, with violets over a fine texture. You really get a very pretty and elegant wine in this bottle. This is a production of 9,309 bottles plus large formats.Inc. VAT£356.69 -

The 2016 Barolo Castellero is a powerful, pleasantly rustic wine that is going to need at least a few years to come into its own. Burly tannins convey an impression of rusticity, but beyond that, there is good depth and plenty of fruit as well. Readers should plan on cellaring the 2016 for at least a few years. Scorched earth, tobacco, menthol, macerated dark cherry, licorice, game and incense add to the wine's dark, wild and virile feel.Inc. VAT£281.60 -

The 2018 Barolo Castellero is laced with dark cherry, plum, spice, menthol, licorice and dried flowers. Powerful and ample, with striking depth, the Castellero is another impressive wine in this range from Brezza.

The 2019 Barolo Castellero is a deep, beguiling wine. Deeply pitched spice, menthol, licorice and dried herbs meld into a core of dark-toned fruit. Virile and imposing, with notable inner sweetness, the Castellero is stunning. There's a bit of new oak influence, but it is not dominant. This is another superb Barolo from Brezza.Inc. VAT£250.40 -

Ripe red in color, the 2020 Barolo Castellero is generous with notes of raspberry preserve, crushed roses, and rosemary. Medium-bodied, it’s approachable and has a supple texture along with an easygoing nature. It retains good freshness at this stage, but I would drink it sooner rather than later.Inc. VAT£356.69 -

Dark cherries, pine, menthol, licorice, smoke and underbrush all take shape in the 2010 Barolo Sarmassa. The darkest and most imposing of the Brezza Barolos, the Sarmassa is backed up by firm tannins that ensure the wine will drink well for a number of years. This is the most tightly wound of the Brezza 2010s, so it will require a bit of patience. This is a deep and deeply satisfying Barolo from Enzo Brezza. In 2010, Brezza did not produce his top Barolo, Bricco Sarmassa. All the best fruit went into the straight Sarmassa.Inc. VAT£132.40 -
Decanter (97)
Brezza is dedicated to organic viticulture, and works only with indigenous yeast, big oak vessels and long macerations in the cellar. His 2019 Sarmassa is one of the most elegant Barolos of the vintage, if not the most. Bright ruby in the glass and vibrant on the nose, the tannins are impeccable. Plenty of Parma violet notes are to the fore, soaked with rhubarb root, liquorice stick and a whiff of yellow fruits. The attack is poised, soft and silky, with long, lifted acidity. There is a perfect extraction here – the tannins are very well judged and ripe.Inc. VAT£285.58 -

The certified organic Brezza 2020 Barolo Sarmassa is a quiet wine from a loud vintage. You'll appreciate how subdued and silky Nebbiolo performs in this expression. The wine shows a finely knit texture with little highlights of fruit, spice and licorice. Sarmassa enjoys southwest exposures with silty clay soils. Production is 8,698 bottles and 415 magnums.Inc.

The 2015 Barolo Riserva Bricco Sarmassa is presently quite tannic and unyielding, as these wines can be in the early going. Even so, there is a good bit of depth that needs time to fully emerge. Red cherry, pomegranate and mint nuances gradually emerge over time. A vertical, strapping Barolo, the 2015 Riserva needs to be left alone for the better part of a decade.Inc. VAT£452.44 -
Steeped in tradition from the sun-kissed hills of Piemonte, Italy, the Bricco Ernesto Vino Bianco 2021 is every connoisseur’s delight. This elegant white wine is born from a meticulous harvesting process carried out entirely by hand. Producer Bricco Ernesto injects passion and dedication into every bottle, delivering fine quality and consistency year after year.
Gracefully maturing in stainless steel tanks, the Bricco Ernesto Vino Bianco 2021 offers a hint of zest that captivates from the first sip. Made primarily from Moscato grapes, it yields an aromatic, fragrant nose, whilst the careful inclusion of 10% Cortese and Favorita grapes balances this with herbal notes and a refreshing minerality.
A perfect partner for refined pallets and gastronomy, Bricco Ernesto Vino Bianco 2021 complements remarkably well with seafood dishes, cheeses and white meats. Raise your glasses to a sublime, Italian expression of terroir, transcending the ordinary to deliver a truly unforgettable white wine experience.

Tucked off the main road, Brea remains one of the least well-known vineyards in Serralunga. The 2011 is a great wine to start exploring some of the nuances of this site.

Italy has gone from strength to strength, with standards of winemaking improving all the time and more indigenous varietals than ever before reaching foreign markets. Every single region is a treasure trove of undiscovered gems worth exploring, while the more classic wines like Barolo and Brunello di Montalcino have more than caught up in quality with their French counterparts without catching up in price. A dizzying array of style and a natural affinity with food means there is really no need to look any further no matter the occasion.
