Le Pianelle Bramaterra 2019

Sweet tobacco and cedar drive the aromatics, with cooling menthol adding lift. The palate shows remarkable grace despite 35% stems and extended wood fermentation. Silky tannins and weightless texture speak to careful extraction. Pure and elegant rather than powerful. Needs time to fully develop. Drink 2026-2038.

Le Pianelle

Le Pianelle works within Bramaterra, one of Piedmont's quieter northern appellations, producing Nebbiolo-based reds alongside rosato and Coste della Sesia bottlings that reward attention without demanding ceremony.
