Producer 460 Casina Bric

PIEDMONT

460 Casina Bric, Piedmontese dialect for "Cascina Bricco", is a new reality in the Langhe landscape, and its vineyards are located in the highest part of the municipality of Barolo, between 420 and 500 meters. Here you can breathe a unique microclimate, where the earth thanks to its geo-morphological conformation combined with the favorable climate of light and constant ventilation facilitates an original style, full of freshness in the mouth and vivacity in color. Casina Bric is the dream and the mirror of Gianluca Viberti, owner and oenologist, who after more than twenty years spent looking after the family vineyards, in 2010 gained strength and courage in creating an independent project, following the values ​​and ideals of production consolidated in many years of work and effort. Gianluca lives and reflects his personality in his wines and in the way in which they represent a constant confrontation with the vineyard and the environment that hosts it. Thus was born a reality aware and attentive to tradition, in which Gianluca has reintroduced ancient customs and methods, such as the use of concrete barrels for the vinification of Nebbiolo; it also makes use of a traditional practice called "sticking of the marc", which consists in completely immersing the cap of the marc in the wine, through wooden staves coming from the dismantling of used barrels. Furthermore, in order not to forget, on the one hand, the history of Piedmont and to characterize the wines in the best possible way, on the other, Gianluca has chosen to use the Poirinotta bottle, dating back to the 1700s; the latter, produced near Poirino, a few kilometers from the city of Turin, was subsequently abandoned in favor of other containers from nearby France
