Bramaterra DOC
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
The Alto Piemonte DOC that allows the most blending, so Croatina and Vespolina add color, pepper and softer fruit to Nebbiolo grown on red volcanic sand and porphyry. The result is medium bodied with dried cherry, rosehip, black pepper, iron and earth, fine tannin and high acid. It drinks earlier than Gattinara and costs less. Antoniotti is the reference; Tenute Sella and Colombera & Garella are also worth finding.
