Casina Bric

Casina Bric or 'perched farm' in the local Piedmontese dialect, is the highest property of the famous village of Barolo, more precisely in the hamlet of Vergne in Italy. Given that Gianluca is from Vergne it’s only logical and re-assuring that his single vineyard Barolo should come from the village’s top vineyard: Bricco delle Viole; the fruit coming from his second, west-facing parcel at close to 460 meters above sea level, up above and behind the garage-like cantina/winery. Less complex, perhaps without the addition of other vineyards, it makes up for it.

Walter Spiller’s review for Jancis Robinson back in 2014:

Spicy yet holding back on the nose. Impressive concentration of fruit on the palate kept in check by perfectly built grainy tannins.

Secondary fermentation in magnum bottles, during which the wine rests of the lees from 24 to 36 months. This ancient method of sparkling wine production expresses the best of the Nebbiolo grape and its territoriality where wealth and elegance leave their mark.

Antique pink color, fine and persistent perlage, with ample, floral aromas reminiscent of dog rose, and pleasant notes of peach flowers. The taste is crisp and well balanced, full of verve and extremely elegant. A bottle to share and celebrate daily moments, where life is experienced in the details and the beauty that surrounds us

Additional notes:
A story, a project of the territory and its vineyards, and the work that Gianluca Viberti has cultivated since he attended the Scuola Enologica in Alba. Today the project comes to fruition, offering to all lovers of Nebbiolo and sparkling wine a line of two Spumanti - Rosé Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC - made by two methods of sparkling wine production: the Metodo Classico for the vintage Brut Nature where elegance, richness, and year leave their mark; and the long Martinotti Prêt-à-Porter where freshness, fruit and drinkability exceed the austerity of Nebbiolo. Both are part of the original 'Origo-Ginis' project from the Latin 'Origo-Originis' 'with reference to writings, works of art or other productions that are at the hands of the author, as opposed to what is a copy of it' (cit. Treccani)'
