Azienda Agricola Brezza Giacomo e Figli - Dolcetto d'Alba 2021
The Brezza family has been making wine and farming vineyards in Barolo since 1885. Enzo is the fourth generation of the family to lead the estate, where they not only have an enviable holding of vineyards in Barolo including the Cru sites of Castellero, Sarmassa and the famous Cannubi, but they farm a total of twenty hectares planted to Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa and Chardonnay. All of Brezza’s grapes are grown organically and hand-harvested. In the cellar, only native yeasts are used for fermentation and the wines undergo long macerations and extended aging in large Slavonian oak botti. Enzo may be firmly rooted in tradition, but his knowledge as an oenologist allows him to craft traditional wines that are clean, precise and among the best in all of Italy.
The Dolcetto d'Alba is made from 100% Dolcetto from a certified organic, southwest facing vineyard with vines planted in 1991 on soft and sandy soils. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged form 8 months in concrete, then bottled and aged for another 4-5 months before release. The sandy soils help give this Dolcetto exceptional fruit purity, aromatic lift and elegance. This charming, fruit-forward wine is a perfect companion to simple pasta dishes or a selection of cured meats and a loaf of country bread.
