Bramaterra

Completely based on porfidio soil, this 150-year-old estate covers 5.5 hectares in Bramaterra. The vines are an average 50 years of age. The Martinazzi vineyard faces south over a natural amphitheatre. The blend here is 70% Nebbiolo, 20% Croatina, 7% Vespolina and 3% Uva Rara (the latter imparting a rounder character and less austere acidity). The wine is dense ruby in the glass, with earthy liquorice notes, violet, dark chocolate, bergamot and black pepper, almost peaty in character. The tannins are slightly sticky on the finish, more austere than 2015 yet ripe, with well integrated acidity.
