Favorable climatic conditions, combined with the careful selection of the finest Nebbiolo grapes, result in a Barolo that is balanced, profound and particularly long-lived. The 2018 vintage stands out for its elegance, aromatic precision and harmonious structure. The result is a wine that authentically interprets its terroir while highlighting the tradition and ageing potential of Nebbiolo. Contains sulfites.

History of the Wine

Barolo Casina Bric was created with the intention of producing a wine capable of representing the essence of the estate’s vineyards through the blending of the finest parcels cultivated in Barolo and La Morra. This practice, deeply rooted in the history of the denomination, makes it possible to combine the distinctive characteristics of different vineyard sites and create a harmonious and complete expression of the territory. Vineyards located at higher elevations benefit from particularly favorable conditions for Nebbiolo ripening, contributing to an elegant and terroir-driven style. Each vintage is interpreted with great care, respecting its natural characteristics while preserving the identity of the wine. The result is a Barolo that authentically tells the story of the Langhe’s viticultural heritage.

Vineyard Philosophy

The vineyards dedicated to Barolo Casina Bric are located at an average altitude of approximately 460 meters above sea level, in the highest sections of the municipalities of Barolo and La Morra. This elevation encourages significant day-to-night temperature variations, which are essential for maintaining freshness, acidity and aromatic complexity in the grapes. Under these conditions, Nebbiolo achieves slow and complete ripening while preserving varietal elegance and precision. Vineyard management focuses on enhancing the natural balance of the vines and respecting the unique characteristics of each parcel. Careful grape selection ensures high-quality fruit capable of fully expressing the character of the terroir and supporting long-term ageing.

Winemaking Approach

Barolo Casina Bric 2018 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo and follows traditional winemaking practices designed to preserve the purity of the grape variety and the identity of the terroir. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks, a material historically used throughout the Langhe for its ability to provide thermal stability while respecting the integrity of the fruit. The submerged-cap maceration with traditional cap restraint lasts approximately 35 to 40 days, allowing a gradual extraction of color, aromas and tannic structure. After fermentation, the wine undergoes extended maturation in Slavonian oak casks ranging from 25 to 50 hectoliters, where it develops complexity, balance and elegance. This production process results in a Barolo that is both austere and refined, crafted for positive evolution over many years.

Tasting Notes

Color: bright and intense garnet red, with reflections that highlight the nobility of Nebbiolo and its ageing potential.

Nose: elegant and complex, featuring aromas of violet, forest floor, ripe red fruits, delicate spices and subtle balsamic nuances.

Palate: austere, harmonious and persistent, supported by well-defined tannins, vibrant freshness and an extraordinarily long finish.

Food Pairings

Barolo Casina Bric 2018 pairs beautifully with the great dishes of Piedmontese cuisine and the most structured recipes of the Italian culinary tradition. It is an ideal match for braised meats, roasted dishes, grilled red meats and slow-cooked preparations, where its structure finds perfect balance with the richness of the food. It also complements game dishes and aged cheeses with elegance, enhancing their complexity and aromatic intensity. Thanks to its persistence and refined tannic framework, it is an excellent choice for special occasions and sophisticated dining experiences. Served at the proper temperature, it reveals the full depth of its evolving character.
