Bricco Genestreto

Roero DOCG Riserva

Thanks to our long experience with the Roero terroirs we can now ascertain that Nebbiolo grown here has great potential and excellent attitudes to aging, so we decided to add a new cru to Srü and Printi: Bricco Genestreto. It is located in the Priocca village, a 12 hectare estate in a single plot, on a hill with excellent South-West exposure, with soils rich in clay and limestone, ideal for the production of powerful and long-aged Nebbiolo.

The vines were planted in 2000, but only a small part of the estate has been dedicated to the production of this cru: the highest and sunniest part. We immediately realized that Bricco Genestreto had great potential but we had to wait many years before the vines ripened to achieve this result.

Francesco Monchiero has expressed in this new wine his sanguine passion for Nebbiolo, all the experience gained in his winemaker’s life and his unique style, full of elegance and precision. This project started a long time ago, the first vintage of Bricco Genestreto was in 2012: after 8 years of aging in our cellar we released it just when ready to be enjoyed.

We now produce a limited edition of numbered bottles that we hope to expand over the years: later planted vines needs maturing and aging, great wines need long waits and lots of patience!
