About this wine
Cà Brusà's Langhe Nascetta is made from Nascetta, a native white grape of the Langhe rediscovered in recent decades. It shows a light straw-yellow color with greenish reflections, delicate aromas of white spring flowers and citrus, and a light-bodied palate of Rennet apple and lime with a faint hint of white almond, finishing full and persistent.
A gentle, easy-drinking white — a good way to try a lesser-known native Italian variety.

Barolo Menico
RedNebbiolo
Barolo Menico is Cà Brusà's traditional flagship Barolo, made from 100% Nebbiolo grown on vines averaging 30 years old in soils balanced between clay, silt, and sand. The wine ages 15 months in small oak barrels, then 10 months in large 25-hectoliter casks, followed by a further 12 months of refinement in bottle before release. The result is a pure, intense Barolo with aromas of dried roses, dark fruit, smoke, and licorice, and a palate layered with plum, cinnamon, violet, cherry, and licorice.

Bricco San Pietro Vigna d'Vai is Cà Brusà's single-vineyard Barolo Riserva, sourced from the Vigna d'Vai plot on the Bricco San Pietro hill in Monforte d'Alba. Made entirely from Nebbiolo, it ages roughly 15 months in French oak barrels, then about 22 months in large Slavonian oak casks, and undergoes extended bottle aging (several years in some vintages) before release. The wine shows a bright, intense garnet red color with orange highlights, and a bouquet of plum, violet, cinnamon, cherry, and licorice.

Made from 100% Barbera, it ages a year in small oak barrels and a further year in bottle before release.

Langhe Nebbiolo Briccolino
RedNebbiolo
Briccolino is Cà Brusà's lighter, early-release expression of Nebbiolo, named after one of the estate's vineyard plots and made from vines averaging 30 years old. Vinified with a very short maceration and aged only about 4 months in small oak barrels, it is released in early spring as a soft, round, and fresh style of Nebbiolo. It shows a bright, intense garnet red color with slight orange tones, and a bouquet of cherry, plum jam, and raspberry.
