The history of Brezza Family in Barolo

Nestled in vineyards just steps outside the center of the village Barolo you will find the winery as well as the Restaurant and Hotel all owned by the Brezza family.
Proprietors of tradition for 4 generations, we believe today that the best way to represent the uniqueness of our terroir in our wines is to stay in constant harmony with the land and its fruits.
Currently the family is working organically farmed vineyards.
Their philosophy is to produce mono varietal wines and to take more care to better their health of the vineyard.
The harvest by hand in order to collect the grapes at the right degree of maturity. In fact, this can be found in all the harmony and balance of a great wine.

GLASS STOPPER

Ten years ago we decided to use an innovative glass stopper that we believe provides and extra guarantee in respect of the characteristic of our wines.

Soil characteristics

In the sheltered valley of Sarmassa vineyard the area Bircco occupies a privileged position halfway up the hill facing south; in fact, according to the country’s elderly (and not only) is the place where the snow melts more quickly. Having the same MEGA (Additional Mention of the Geographic) as the Sarmassa but is a decision of the winemaker weather the Vigna Bricco is to be produced.

Production process

The winemaking process for the Bricco is similar to that of the Sarmassa with a difference in the duration of refining in the bottle, which is prolonged another 2 years. This Barolo though not produced every year will always go through its vinification and aging separately. Throughout its life in barrel it will undergo many blind tastings alongside the other cru’s. We will decide before bottling if this wine is enough to hold the name Vigna Bricco. This wine once placed in commercial circulation is already enjoyable with its complex ability and roundness of a great Barolo while maintaining the ability to evolve slowly and positively for many years to come.

Serving recommendations

“The Barolo wine is a dream, an evocation, a gift of the land and air of the Langa. A quite thought that restores the spirit and body.. Once there was. Nor is it known what it was. Honor and respect to those who had the good taste to transcend.” There are no better words than these, written by Massimo Martinelli in his book “The Barolo as I do” to describe what is Sarmassa Riserva Vigna Bricco.
