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 wet winter, replenishing much-needed soil moisture after the previous year's dry conditions. Spring brought significant rainfall, leading to challenges with fungal diseases in the vineyards. The summer then saw a more classic pattern of warm days and cool nights, aiding in phenolic ripening. The resulting Barolos are generally described as more approachable and elegant, with a focus on perfume and finesse.
