Winemakers Comments

Aromas of grilled porcini mushroom, botanical herbs, new leather and baked plum shape the nose. Brawny and bold, the forward, concentrated palate offers raspberry jam, licorice and a hint of coffee bean alongside enveloping, close-grained tannins that leave a firm, drying finish. Drink sooner rather than later to capture the remaining energy.

Brandini produces wines that are an expression of the territory in full respect of the Langa tradition. They follow step by step the transformation of grapes into wine thanks to the attention of their winemakers and the use of the best technologies. At the center of all their choices is the search for the highest quality, from the vineyard to the bottle.
