Agricola Brandini

An estate that’s really going places, Brandini was established in 2007 by Piero Bagnasco and is today managed by his two delightful, dynamic daughters Giovanna and Serena. Located in the commune of La Morra, Brandini takes its name from the eponymous cru, whose cool, windswept slopes make it less vulnerable than many parts of Barolo to global heating. Since taking over, Giovanna and Serena have been fine-tuning the operation, not least by converting the estate’s 18 hectares to organic farming and experimenting with whole[1]bunch fermentation to achieve extra freshness and elegance. No Annunziata was produced in 2019 due to hail, but the small quantity of healthy grapes harvested here have provided a qualitative boost to the always excellent multi-site Comune di la Morra.
