Tasting Notes

The Antoniotti family has been making wine in their town of Casa del Bosco in northern Piemonte for generations.

Bramaterra is Italy's smallest of small appellations where the soils are volcanic and porphyr-based.

Aged in large botti of at least 1250 liters in underground cellars for at least 30 months.
