Bramaterra
Wine · PDO · 7 municipalities
Recognized since 1981, the Bramaterra DOC of Piedmont encompasses seven municipalities, including Brusnengo. This red-only appellation mandates a blend built on a minimum of 50% Nebbiolo, rounded out with Croatina, Uva Rara, and Vespolina. What sets Bramaterra apart from its Alto Piemonte siblings is a unique regulation: its Riserva tier shares the exact same minimum total alcohol content of 12.0% as the base wine. However, the Riserva demands significantly more cellar time, requiring 34 months of total aging with 24 months in wood, whereas the base wine requires 22 months of aging, including 18 months in wood.
