About this wine
An extremely limited Barolo from a tiny plot in the heart of the legendary Cannubi cru — historically the first cru vinified by Marchesi di Barolo, the family that acquired Cascina Bruciata in 2016. Fermentation is spontaneous with extended skin maceration, followed by aging in French oak before further time in bottle. The result is an intense, wide-ranging nose of ripe red fruit, cherry and plum with sweet spice, cumin and cinnamon, carried by a thick tannic structure balanced by fresh acidity.
A serious, structured Barolo best suited to those already familiar with Nebbiolo's power — not the easiest starting point, but a rare chance to taste Cannubi fruit.
Sommelier's Note
"Cannubi is the most storied hillside in Barolo, and Cascina Bruciata's tiny holding there — now under Marchesi di Barolo, the very estate that pioneered vinifying this cru — makes this one of the rarest bottlings in their range worth hunting down."
Food Pairings
A wine for the richest, most classic Piedmontese occasions: braised beef in Barolo (brasato al Barolo), white truffle risotto, aged Parmigiano Reggiano, and roasted game.

バルバレスコ・リオ・ソルド
Barbaresco Rio Sordo
RedNebbiolo
Cascina Bruciata's flagship Barbaresco, sourced entirely from the estate's holdings in the historic Rio Sordo cru — a south/southwest-facing amphitheater on calcareous clay-marl soils, cooled by the underground stream that gives the cru its name ('silent river'). Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts, followed by roughly 24 months of aging in French oak barrels. The wine shows the modern, polished house style: ripe dark cherry and blackberry fruit, violet and spice aromatics, and firm but refined tannins, with balsamic and mineral undertones typical of Rio Sordo fruit.
バルバレスコ・リオ・ソルド・リゼルヴァ
Barbaresco Rio Sordo Riserva
RedNebbiolo
Produced only in exceptional vintages, this Riserva selection from the Rio Sordo cru undergoes an extended aging regime of roughly four years before release, including time in French oak. The result is a denser, more structured expression than the base Rio Sordo bottling: concentrated dark fruit, flint and dried mint aromatics, and powerful, close-grained tannins built for long cellaring.
ドルチェット・ダルバ・リアン
Dolcetto d'Alba Rian
RedDolcetto
A juicy, food-friendly Dolcetto d'Alba grown on sandy, calcareous soils at roughly 300m altitude in the Barbaresco area. Soft pressing and spontaneous fermentation with about 10 days of skin maceration are followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation and a brief stainless-steel aging before bottling, preserving the variety's signature deep ruby color, violet and red-berry aromatics, and soft, easy-drinking tannins.
ランゲ・ネッビオーロ・ウジニョーロ
Langhe Nebbiolo Usignolo
RedNebbiolo
Cascina Bruciata's entry-level Nebbiolo, also grown on the Rio Sordo cru but declassified to Langhe DOC and vinified without oak for a fresher, more immediate style. After soft pressing, spontaneous fermentation and roughly 12 days of skin maceration, the wine completes malolactic fermentation and ages only briefly in stainless steel before bottling — preserving bright rose, strawberry and violet aromatics and soft, well-integrated tannins.
