Bro' is a white with a gritty look that enters the mouth without courtly bows and - cheeky - remains with its chest out and forehead held high. The whale as a memory of a wine of yesteryear. An abstract time to plunge into the unconscious.
The grapes, such as Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca), Prugnola and Rossola, from the Grumello sub-area, are vinified "in red" with a medium-long maceration. After 2 months in steel and 18 months in large 80 hl Slavonian oak barrels, followed by another 4 months of aging in bottle.
Clear wine with a straw yellow color with greenish reflections; the nose is fine and delicate, with hints of golden apple, pineapple and banana. It is a very versatile wine, used as an aperitif and can be sipped on any occasion; excellent with fish, it prefers delicate dishes.
Wine produced in an alpine environment using Nebbiolo grapes vinified in white. The geological origin of the land dates back to the collision between the African and European plates that gave rise to the Alps. The great variability of the resulting rocks give minerality and elegance.
From Pecorello grapes, an ancient native Calabrian vine to be rediscovered and valorised. For us, Ippolito is proud of passionate research.
