About
La Palazzina's Bramaterra 2010 - the Roasio estate's flagship, made from approximately 80% Nebbiolo with the balance in Croatina, Vespolina, and Uva Rara, on iron-rich red porphyritic volcanic soils. Hand-harvested, native-yeast fermentation in stainless for ~20 days, then ~36 months in 35-hectolitre Slavonian botti, plus 6 months in bottle before release. Total annual estate production around 5,000 bottles.
Style sits between Gattinara's structured austerity and Lessona's perfumed elegance - the Alto Piemonte volcanic-soil signature with iron, spice, and salinity. 2010 was a legendary, classic Piedmont vintage: cool, long, balanced, the wines built for 30+ years - read in 2026, this should be drinking in its first plateau of maturity.
