Le Pianelle Bramaterra 2019: A Bold Piedmont Red with Nebbiolo Heart

Discover the complexity of Le Pianelle Bramaterra 2019, a masterfully crafted red wine from Italy’s renowned Piedmont region. Blending 80% Nebbiolo with Croatina and Vespolina, this wine embodies the soul of its terroir while offering a distinctive twist on traditional Nebbiolo-driven wines like Barolo or Barbaresco.

Vinous awarded this vintage 96 points, praising its “explosive energy” and harmonious balance of power and elegance. The 2019 Bramaterra reveals layers of red fruits, tobacco, and sandalwood, underscored by vibrant acidity—a hallmark of Piedmont’s climate. Its structured tannins and integrated oak aging make it both age-worthy (cellar until 2036) and approachable in youth, offering flexibility for immediate enjoyment or long-term cellaring.

Winemaker Cristiano Garella selects only top barrels from his vineyards to craft this bottling, emphasizing purity of fruit and terroir expression. Unlike Barolo/Barbaresco’s单一Nebbiolo focus, Bramaterra’s blend adds depth: Croatina contributes tannic backbone, while Vespolina introduces bright berry and herbal notes, creating a wine that’s deeply layered yet approachable.

Perfect for fans of bold Italian reds seeking complexity beyond classic Nebbiolo styles, this wine pairs beautifully with rich meats or aged cheeses. With 13.5% alcohol, it delivers intensity without heaviness.
