Barolo di Brangero is a traditional vision of Barolo, revisited in a softer and more composed way. Therefore, Barolo Brangero is ready-to-drink now or can improve with a few more years. In the glass it appears a pale garnet red color. This wine is broad and powerful, interacting with fresh notes of black cherry, cherry, plum and black berry fruit, coupled with balsamic and sweet spice fragrances. The taste is structured, rounded with excellent aromatic depth, elegantly softened by dense and well-rounded tannins. Vegan.

The year began with a remarkably dry and mild winter, leaving water reserves severely depleted after a virtually rainless 110-day stretch. Spring offered little relief, bringing persistent drought conditions and unseasonably warm temperatures that triggered an early budbreak. The summer then intensified into a historically hot and parched pattern, pushing the vines into survival mode and stunting vegetative growth, which resulted in incredibly small, loose clusters with minimal juice extraction. The resulting Barolos are generally described as surprisingly fresh and immediate, defying the extreme heat with precise, fruit-forward perfumes, soft tannins, and an approachable, relaxed elegance that makes them deeply appealing for early drinking.
