Nestled in the heart of northern Piedmont, the Bramaterra DOC offers an environmental tapestry unlike any other. Its soils, a captivating blend of porphyry, granite, and clay, imbue the wines with a distinct mineral character, harmonizing effortlessly with the lushness of the surrounding landscapes. Amidst this rich environment flourishes the king of Piedmontese grapes: Nebbiolo. Known for its robust character and elegant tannins, Nebbiolo finds a unique expression in Bramaterra, giving life to wines that echo the soul of the region.
At the forefront of Bramaterra's vinicultural legacy are the Rosso and Riserva wines. The Rosso, with its vivid ruby hue, offers a bouquet of red fruits and violets, underlined by an intriguing minerality. It’s a wine that sings of youth, yet carries the wisdom of the terrains. The Riserva, on the other hand, is an ode to patience and time. Aged longer, it possesses a depth and complexity that speaks of long summer days, crisp autumn mornings, and the gentle passage of seasons.
In Bramaterra DOC, it’s not just about wine; it's about the alchemy of Nebbiolo and the environment, coming together to create liquid poetry in a bottle.

The Bramaterra DOC, located in the Piedmont region, covers the land in the hilly areas north of the national highway 141, in the municipalities of Masserano, Brusnengo, Curino, Roasio, Villa del Bosco, Sostegno and Lozzolo. Here, the Consorzio Valsesia as well as the Consorzio di Tutela Nebbioli Alto Piemonte are key to mantain the high quality standards of the wines produced in the DOC.
The climate of the region is Mediterranean, although there is frequent rainfall. Due to the proximity to Monte Rosa, the vineyards are not affected by alpine winds, which could be detrimental.
The vineyards are located on fertile acidic porphyric soils. To the west, the soils are rich in sand and marine deposits, while to the south, the soils are deep and rich in silt and clay.
