The Bramaterra branded Tenute Sella is a wine with ancient origins. In fact, there are traces of its existence as far back as 1447, and we are therefore faced with a type that boasts a centuries-old history. This version presented by Tenute Sella is born from a blend of Nebbiolo, Vespolina, and Croatina, grapes selected with extreme care from the plots of Villa del Bosco and Brusnengo, leading to a full and round sip, where the mineral notes represent the defining element on the nose and palate. A bottle that can easily evolve further over the next 10 years.
This Bramaterra is made by Tenute Sella by combining two little-known red grape varieties, Vespolina and Croatina, with Nebbiolo. The vines of these three varieties are about 50 years old and grow in a terroir made up of volcanic origin porphyry sands, at an altitude of about 300 meters above sea level. The grapes, after being hand-harvested, ferment in steel containers, macerating for up to a maximum of 30 days. The refinement process then follows, during which the wine rests in Slavonian oak barrels for 28 months, until bottling and marketing operations begin.
