Vino Rosso 2022

The Vino Rosso by Bricco Ernesto (crafted by Renato Vezza in Priocca, Roero) stands as an iconic, cult-status red of extraordinary purity, weightless grace, and deep territorial honesty. Highly coveted by collectors of artisanal Nebbiolo and natural wine purists, this bottling originates from a tiny 0.5-hectare micro-parcel atop the steep 'Bricco Ernesto' hill in Priocca. Farmed under strict organic and biodynamic principles, the Nebbiolo vines draw their energy from fossil-rich sandy-limestone marls perched on dramatic Roero amphitheaters.

Cellar protocols honor a uncompromising minimalist philosophy: natural spontaneous fermentation driven by native yeasts, extended submerged-cap macerations with partial whole-cluster inclusion in wood vats, and slow maturation in large neutral oak casks and terracotta amphorae. Bottled without fining, filtration, or added sulfites, Bricco Ernesto's Vino Rosso emerges as a masterclass in Nebbiolo elegance—diaphanous in hue, soaring with rose-petal and balsam aromatics, and anchored by chiseled, silky tannins built for multi-decadal cellaring.
