Brangero's flagship wine, a single-vineyard Barolo from a parcel the family acquired in the celebrated Monvigliero cru of Verduno, on chalky 'marne tufacee bianche' soils widely regarded as one of Barolo's finest sites. The Nebbiolo grapes are hand-sorted, 100% destemmed, and undergo a long, fully extracted maceration in stainless steel with a submerged-cap regime over roughly 40 days, before ageing about 30 months in once-used French oak casks. The result is a lush, fruit-forward yet structured Barolo with fine tannin and lively acidity, expressive and approachable even in its youth.
Monvigliero is one of Barolo's most storied crus, and Brangero's small-production bottling delivers real cru character at a fraction of what bigger names charge for the same hillside.
