Introduction:
The 2019 Bramaterra “Robino” from Le Pianelle is a rare, single-vineyard expression of Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo, supported by small amounts of Vespolina and Croatina. It offers a precise reflection of its volcanic soils, combining elegance, mineral lift, and age-worthy structure.

Terroir:
The Robino vineyard lies on steep, south-facing slopes in Bramaterra, planted on ancient volcanic sands and porphyry. Organic farming and meticulous vineyard care emphasize purity, while the region’s Alpine-influenced climate fosters freshness and detail.

Appearance:
Medium ruby with garnet highlights—bright and transparent.

Nose:
Highly aromatic, with lifted red cherry, pomegranate, and wild strawberry framed by violet, rose petal, and earthy spice. Subtle minerality underscores the bouquet.

Palate:
Medium-bodied, taut, and finely structured. Crisp acidity supports layers of red fruit, peppery spice, and herbal nuance. Firm yet polished tannins give the wine length and precision.

Finish:
Persistent and elegant—red berries and florals linger with a finely etched mineral edge.

Overall Impression:
The 2019 Le Pianelle Bramaterra “Robino” is an outstanding Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo: perfumed, mineral-driven, and refined. With its balance of bright fruit, floral lift, and firm tannins, it shows both charm in youth and serious potential for aging over the next 10–15 years.
