A bit of history about Bricco Rosso

From the Medieval Ages till the first half of the last century, every year the Cartonè - drivers “ante litteram”, but also small dealers of grapes - came from the plain and from the far-off Alpine valleys to get a small but precious amount of “Dolcetto”.

After many hours of a noisy and slow journey, they began to see a big sea of hills, the Langhe: “Look there, we can already see Bricco Rosso!”
The Cartonè indicated with an outstretched arm the hill upon Farigliano which divides this village from Dogliani and which today still presents a peculiar characteristic: maybe because of the geological substrate, maybe because of the position of vineyards, however the harvest comes here a bit earlier, making the leaves red and creating a small vermilion isle on the still green sea of the surrounding hills
