92 Points, Vinous
The 2024 Nebbiolo Rosato Bricco Lorella is a total pleasure to take in. Stone dust and dried flowers combine with nuances of chamomile and nectarine. It’s soft textured and round, with a core of juicy acidity and q savory array of orchard fruits. Brisk acidity adds cheek-pinching tension toward the close. This leaves a salty mineral tinge and a lemony concentration, finishing long and youthfully tense.
Antoniolo ‘Bricco Lorella’ Nebbiolo Rosato 2024
92 Points, Vinous
This is something you’ve likely never seen before but NEED to try. I’m talking about a Gattinara rosé, named Lorella (named after the granddaughter of the estate’s founder) — a truly crazy, lively, and full-bodied expression of 100% Nebbiolo. It’s one of the bigger, bolder Roses I’ve tried. The grapes are harvested from the very same estate vineyards that yield their Juvenia Coste della Sesia Nebbiolo, highlighting the quality of the fruit. To achieve such a crazy vibrant character, the fruit undergoes a light pressing followed by a very short skin maceration of just three hours, resulting in a rosé with remarkable depth and intensity. It’s perfect for the barbecue or wherever. Eric Guido called it “a total pleasure to take in”.

MORE INFO
Gattinara’s most dynamic driving force is a soft-spoken, petite, 75-year-old grandmother named Rosanna Antoniolo.”—Wine Sepctator, April 30, 2015
“One of the reference-points in Gattinara.”—Antonio Galloni, Vinous
“Antoniolo’s bottles contain the best of Northern Piedmont’s heritage. Hard-boned and only apparently lean, they can survive the decades while making all their greatness immediately obvious.” — Gambero Rosso
Antoniolo is viewed by many as the most important reference-point estate in all of Gattinara, Alto Piemonte’s most well-known appellation. It is run by a dynamic brother/sister team Alberto and Lorella Antoniolo, who are doing the work that their grandfather, Maro started back in the 1940s.
In the 1950s and 60s, when many Italians were fleeing the countryside for work in Piedmont’s factories, Antoniolo was snapping up several of the area’s best vineyards and by the early 1970s had an incredibly inpressive collection of Gattinara’s top crus, including a monopole on the Osso San Grato vineyard.
