2022 Bricco Ernesto Rebellious Nature

The 2022 Bricco Ernesto "Rebellious Nature" is an organic, co-fermented field blend of Nebbiolo, Freisa, Bonarda, Barbera, and a touch of Cortese and Arneis from Roero — Renato's own words on the blend: "everything in the basket, and into the fermenter" — producing something savory, complex, and entirely its own, with red fruit, grip, and a wild energy that resists easy categorization. This is Renato Vezza's annual collaboration project, made with a different like-minded producer each year — the 2022 was made alongside Ale from Le More Bianche, co-fermented across both estates with one rule for every collaborator: no chemicals, biodynamic or organic in the vineyard, everything fermented together naturally. Fun fact: Renato plants his field blend plot with so many interplanted varieties that even he doesn't know exactly what's in it — the vines are only 8 years old and the full picture is still emerging, vintage by vintage, exactly the way a living place should reveal itself. Pair with braised meats, aged cheeses, or open it on a night when you want a wine that has something to say.
