Azelia - Barolo Bricco Fiasco 2019 (750ml)
Decanter: 96 Points
Bricco Fiasco is a single cru vinified by itself since 1978 today from vines of 85 years old. The wine after long maceration and ageing in botti grandi opens up to smoky woodland notes with citrus leaf bark wild strawberry and rose water delicacy. Full of sucrosity on the palate the attack is youthful with firm acidity and grainy very elegant tannins. Structure and concentration are perfectly woven and poised giving to this cru terrific balance which will count for ageing. (Drink between 2023-2050)
dWine Advocate: 95 Points
Bricco Fiasco is a proprietary name for a vineyard in Castiglione Falletto with 85 year old vines. Luigi Scavino says "These vines represent a unique heritage for our family." The 2019 Barolo Bricco Fiasco (with 5800 bottles released) is a little shy initially with heavier berry fruit aromas that eventually relax to show campfire ash pencil shaving and pressed rose. Put this bottle aside for a few more years.
