The “Vigna Santa Rosalia” by Giacomo Brezza is an elegant and intense Nebbiolo d’Alba. A beautiful expression of this classic red from the Langhe, less powerful and structured than its older brother Barolo, but more pleasant to drink even when young, despite also having a good propensity for aging. On the nose, it expresses aromas of cherry, peach, and berries, with light woody nuances. On the palate, it is pleasantly fresh and fruity, with well-integrated tannins and a persistent finish.

Twenty-two hectares, of which about sixteen are cultivated with vineyards, managed under organic farming. The Vigna Santa Rosalia is situated at an altitude of about 300 meters above sea level, with a west exposure and is historically known for the high quality of its grapes. The vines are trained in Guyot, with a planting density of 4000 vines per hectare. The fermentation takes
takes place with a rather short skin maceration, of 6-8 days, to avoid overly tannic extractions. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine is transferred to oak barrels, where it matures for about a year and completes the aging with another 12 months in the bottle before being released on the market.The wine “Vigna Santa Rosalia” produced by the Giacomo Brezza winery is an interesting version of Nebbiolo d’Alba.
