About this wine
A Langhe Nebbiolo DOC from sandy, mineral-rich soils, offering Scarpa's more graceful, perfumed take on Nebbiolo — a wine that showcases the variety's pretty, aromatic side rather than the power of Barolo or Barbaresco. Made from 100% Nebbiolo with skin maceration of roughly three weeks and aging in French Allier oak, it is designed to be more approachable earlier while still showing genuine varietal character.
A gentler, more fragrant introduction to Nebbiolo than Barolo or Barbaresco — great for tasting the grape's aromatic side without the wait or the price tag.
Sommelier's Note
"Bric du Nota captures Nebbiolo's graceful, floral side — proof that the variety doesn't always need decades in the cellar to show its charm."
Food Pairings
Suits roasted meats, braised dishes, and game such as venison, but its lighter structure also pairs well with mushroom pasta and grilled poultry.
When to drink it
Weeknight dinners with roasted or braised meats, and an easy way to sample Nebbiolo character.

テッティモッラ
Tettimorra
RedNebbiolo
Scarpa's flagship Barolo, sourced from a Nebbiolo vineyard near La Morra at roughly 300m elevation, between the crus of Bricco San Biagio and Roggeri (near Arborina). The name means 'the roofs of La Morra' and deliberately echoes Tettineive, Scarpa's Barbaresco. Vinified in the traditional style and aged a minimum of 48 months in large French oak casks (2,000-10,000L), followed by at least two further years of bottle aging before release — an old-school approach that trades early approachability for structure and longevity.
テッティネイヴェ
Tettineive
RedNebbiolo
Scarpa's Barbaresco, grown at roughly 400m elevation in Neive, right on the border between the Langhe and Monferrato. The name means 'the roofs of Neive,' and the wine gave its naming pattern to Scarpa's Barolo, Tettimorra. Made in the same patient, traditional style as the rest of the range, it favors perfume and elegance over sheer power, aged in large oak casks before extended bottle rest.
モンヴィリエーロ
Monvigliero
RedNebbiolo
A Barolo from Monvigliero, widely regarded as the 'Grand Cru' of Verduno for the finesse and perfume it brings to Nebbiolo. Scarpa acquired two hectares within this prestigious MGA (Menzioni Geografiche Aggiuntive) in 2018, and the 2018 vintage was the estate's first release from the cru. Long skin-contact fermentation is followed by aging in large oak barrels for at least 32 months, yielding a wine of rich garnet color, floral perfume, and remarkable aging potential.
ブリッコモーラ
Briccomora
RedBarbera
A Barbera d'Asti DOCG made from 100% Barbera grown on Scarpa's Poderi Bricchi estate, on the border between Castel Rocchero and Acqui Terme. Aged roughly two years in oak, it captures the authentic, structured side of Barbera rather than a purely fruit-forward, easy-drinking style, with raspberry-jam aromatics layered over savory spice and firm, elegant tannins.
カーザ・スカルパ
Casa Scarpa
RedBarbera
Scarpa's everyday Barbera d'Asti DOCG, spanning the full range of the estate's production from the simplest bottling to the more serious Superiore-level wines. Fermented spontaneously with native yeasts and aged in stainless steel and neutral oak to preserve freshness and fruit purity, it is bright, tart, and juicy — an exuberant introduction to the house style at an accessible price.
ルケ・ブリッコロッサ
Rouchet Briccorosa
RedRuchè
A Monferrato Rosso DOC made from Ruchè (spelled 'Rouchet' by Scarpa), a rare, aromatic native Piedmontese variety grown on the Poderi Bricchi estate in Castel Rocchero. One of the local grape 'oddities' the house has long championed, it offers a lively, floral, wild-berry character rarely found outside its home zone.
