Bricco del Prete

In Priocca, where the Roero region paints a landscape of sandy hills, Bricco del Prete works with a single denomination, the eponymous DOCG. It's a terroir that demands two expressions: Nebbiolo, from which structured and long-lasting reds are born, and Arneis, which here manifests as both still whites and sparkling wines with a mineral and taut profile. The twenty-month aging period is not a whim but a measure of character, the time needed for the wine to gain depth without losing the clarity of the grape variety. Each harvest bears the imprint of altitude and soil, which the winery interprets vintage after vintage as shifting coordinates rather than constants. The result is a coherent range, where red and white tell the story of the same territory from opposing angles. The cellar is open to visitors: here, you literally go from barrel to glass, with tastings that allow you to observe how slope and exposure shape each bottle. A compelling reason to stop in Priocca and taste Roero at its source.
