Location: Priocca, Roero, Italy
Based in the small village of Priocca, home to vineyards and hazelnut trees, Bricco Ernesto aka. Renato Vezza is making tiny amounts of great wines from his grandfather’s vineyards. Back in the day “Ernesto “ refused to sell the vineyards because he wanted to leave them to his grandson, which is why the wine is called Bricco Ernesto. Renato is a former sommelier (he worked at Marco Pierre White and other spots in London) which has allowed him to develop a keen sense of taste and very goal-oriented way of producing wine.
The approach is straight-forward: Do the cleanest possible work in the vineyard and cellar. The vineyards have been well-kept and are situated on top of a hill with plenty of wind, sun, and cool nights which keep the vines very healthy. Fermentation is in cement with indigenous yeasts, and aging is done in used barriques. One of the most energetic and lively expressions of Nebbiolo coming out of Piedmont at the moment.

Maxime was 20 years old when he was left in charge of the famed Domaine Georges Noëllat in Vosne-Romanée. This was in 2010, and now, more than a decade later, he has achieved an almost cult-like status for his wines and is still one of Burgundy’s most revered winemakers.
Eric Dhondt and Edith Grellet founded Domaine Dhondt-Grellet in 1986 after they decided to stop selling their grapes to the negotiants in Champagne. Now, their son Adrien (pictured here) is running the domaine together with his sister, Alice.
Bernardo Estévez came into winemaking after having worked as a mechanic in the large city of Vigo on the Spanish west coast. He moved to Arnoia, a small town in southern Ribeiro close to the Portuguese border in 2009 to pursue making wine full time. Now, Bernardo farms 3ha of vines in five areas of Ribeiro – all by him self. The work is organic and biodynamic, applying treatments and infusions that he makes at home.
