Agricola Brandini
Serena and Giovanna Bagnasco, certified organic Barolo from La Morra since 2011
Agricola Brandini is a wine producer in Piedmont, Italy. LeMieux Wine Co. distributes Agricola Brandini wines to licensed restaurants, bars and retailers in Michigan.
Estate
Piero Bagnasco bought the Brandini property in La Morra in 2007 and began converting to organic immediately. His daughter Serena joined in 2011, the year the estate earned organic certification, and Giovanna followed in 2013. By 2018 the sisters had taken over operations entirely. The estate farms twenty-five owned hectares across La Morra, Roero, and the Alta Langa, plus ten rented, all certified organic. La Morra is the Barolo commune associated with perfume and immediate grace, rose petals, tar, cherry, and the Brandini wines carry that character clearly.
Wines
The Barolo R56 is the flagship, a single-vineyard wine that walks the line between La Morra finesse and structural grip. Polished but not soft, structured but not heavy. The Barolo del Comune di La Morra is the communal bottling, approachable younger than most Barolo without sacrificing depth. Filari Corti is the Langhe Nebbiolo. Bright, immediate, grown from the same organic vineyards. The Langhe Arneis Le Margherite brings white flowers and mineral focus from high-altitude Roero sites. The Alta Langa Brut is traditional method sparkling from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown above 400 meters.
