Bramaterra Belvedere Nebbiolo Blend 2010

Absolutely delicious. Last had a bit under 4 years ago and the age has served this well, though honestly this could use still more time. Opened for 3 hours and decanted for 1.5, which worked well. Beautiful dark aromatics on the nose. Intensity of fruit on the palate with a long acid driven finish. Tannins are still quite present but with pork chops with a mustardy sauce this paired nicely. Really enjoyed. — a month ago

So loving the nose on this. Zingy red fruit, a little happy barnyard. In the mouth, great acids and crisp, intense flavors. Tannins in check. So much character for $$. — a month ago

Riserva Bramaterra Nebbiolo 2012

Wow. This has aged magnificently.

Nose: dense. Brooding but still alive. Complex as this opens a lovely florality. Utterly gorgeous 30 minutes in. More pink rose and pretty as it opens.

Palate: dark cherry. Silky. Clean. Spice.

So long.

Uvaggio Coste della Sesia Rosso Nebbiolo Blend 2018

Every vintage is a delight.
Light, airy, aetheric and yet with nice precision & purity to the light, crunchy cherry. There’s also a hint of damson plum and cool, rocky minerality. This is very enticing.
Medium bodied on the palate with quite present, firm tannin and juicy, vibrant acidity. Cherries again with a mineral undercore. Nice depth and good length here.
Surprisingly youthful for 8y, this is holding up very nicely but is also a joy to drink now. Delish!

Along with Gattinara, Bramaterra provides a great alternative to way more expensive nebbiolo wines from Barolo and Barbaresco. — 6 months ago
