The wine

From the two-hectare Santa Rosalia estate, sitting just outside the Barolo boundary between Diano d’Alba and Alba itself. Characteristically garnet with orange nuances, offering perfumed rose, violet and berried fruit underpinned by subtle earthy notes. Elegant, with velvety tannins and a long, persistent finish.

Santa Rosalia is a two-hectare estate just outside the Barolo boundary, between Diano d'Alba and Alba, so the wine is a Nebbiolo d'Alba rather than a Barolo. The vines and the winemaking are the same; only the line on the map differs, which makes this an unusually direct way to taste what the appellation boundary is actually worth.

The producer

Brezza

View all Brezza wines

Twelve and a half hectares of vines in the commune of Barolo, taking in parcels of Cannubi, Castellero and Sarmassa, with the two-hectare Santa Rosalia estate just outside the DOCG boundary and further plots at Monforte and Novello. The family have farmed organically since the 2015 vintage.

Brezza are traditionalists in a region that spent the 1990s arguing about it. The so-called Barolo Wars pitted modernists, who favoured short macerations, small French barrique and early approachability, against traditionalists working long macerations in large old Slavonian oak casks that add structure rather than flavour. Enzo Brezza belongs firmly to the second camp and intervenes as little as he can.

The family also run a hotel and restaurant in the village of Barolo, which they have done since 1885, and the winery has been making wine under its own label since 1910. Holding parcels in both Cannubi and Sarmassa, two of the finest crus in the commune, gives an unusually direct comparison between neighbouring hillsides.
