Seeing a bottle of “La Briccolina Barolo di Tiziano Gasso” on our store shelves today reminds me of the interconnectedness of all things and how wine has the potential to bring people together and to preserve memories. I first met Tiziano in 2001 while I was living in Piemonte, at that time he was selling all of his grapes from his incredibly situated vineyard in Serralunga, to Barolo producer Pio Cesare. As so many wine growers do, Tiziano always held back some of his best Nebbiolo grapes to make wine for household consumption; his homemade Barolo was such a treat! Thankfully he decided to bottle his own wine under his name in 2012, released in 2016, only 3000 bottles were made. In May 2017 Tiziano passed away tragically in a work related accident. Today his wife Simona and his son Daniele, who works at another winery by day, continue Tiziano’s work at La Briccolina and have crafted an ethereal expression of terroir and a representation of enduring spirit.
