WineSaint
Taut and mineral-driven, showing Bramaterra's austere character through its whole-cluster fermentation. Dried herbs, forest floor, iron and dark spice create a decidedly earthy profile that prioritizes structure over fruit. The Croatina and Vespolina additions lend grip to the Nebbiolo base, while firm tannins and chalky minerality dominate the finish. Linear and nervy rather than generous. Needs 3-5 years.
