Bramaterra, one of Piemonte's smallest DOCG regions, produces wines of singular mineral character from acidic volcanic soils that set them apart from Barolo and Barbaresco. This bottling blends mostly Nebbiolo with small proportions of Vespolina and Croatina, native grapes that add color, character, and spicy complexity. The Colombera & Garella team manages over four hectares in the Bramaterra denomination across multiple parcels, harvesting from vines at 350-400 meters elevation. The wine follows Alto Piemonte's traditional approach: prolonged maceration, spontaneous fermentation, and two years in barrel, creating wines that speak of their terroir's salty minerality and lower alcohol compared to modern Italian standards.

Antonio Galloni

88 points

"The 2019 Bramaterra Cascina Cottignano is a powerful, deep wine with strong savory overtones, even though it was made with fully destemmed fruit. In this cold year, the vegetal quality of the wine is especially evident. This pungent, quirky Bramaterra is best enjoyed by readers with an inquisitive palate—it is not an easygoing wine. The 2019 underwent aging for 18 months in a 52HL cask." —Antonio Galloni

More about Colombera & Garella

C & G is one of the region's very best producers. Their wines are picture-perfect representations of the Alto Piemonte's varied terroirs. Their farming is organic and their winemaking natural, and nothing interferes with their deliciously elegant expressions of northerly Nebbiolo, Croatina and Vespolina.

Why the fuss about the Alto Piemonte? It's not just the northern spin, or the mountainous terroir. It's also a matter of soils. The Alto Piemonte's volcanic soils are much more acidic than the Langhe's soils, which makes for lower alcohol levels and gives the wines a whole variety of unique mineral notes as well, sometimes, as an almost sanguine irony undercurrent. Married to the floral aromatics and beautiful fruit, these are really special wines. They are not just "Barolo alternatives."
