WE LOVE IT BECAUSE:
Fragrances of fresh leather, camphor, and pipe tobacco are evident in the glass, accompanied by ripe dark berries and a hint of blue flower. The expansive, captivating finish boasts a lovely inner scent and is truly stunning. The firm structure and young austerity make way for a tense palate highlighting notes of raspberry compote, Morello cherry, and licorice, supported by a backbone of noble tannins.
In the sheltered valley of Sarmassa, a privileged position halfway up the hill, lies the 25-year-old vines of the Bricco Vineyard. According to village elders, it's the spot where the snow always melts the fastest. This Barolo, not made every vintage, is produced from the formerly known as Bricco parcel, vinified separately before bottling. It's compared with other parcels of the same MGA Sarmassa Vigna, bringing together the best of both worlds - the elegance of Cannubi and the structure of Sarmassa. The Bricco bottling is a blend of south-facing parcels within Sarmassa.
