The 2012 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio is particularly elegant and polished. The wine offers a subdued aromatic presentation that builds in incremental intensity as it warms in the glass. Bright cherry and blackberry are followed by floral notes of rose hip and dried lavender. Mineral components of crushed granite and smoke linger delicately at the back. Another important element of this wine is its balanced acidity that will serve well in terms of the wine's overall longevity.

Bright, fluid and spicy, boasting cherry, raspberry and tobacco flavors. This is less dense structurally than many '12s, with a peppery finish. Should come around soon. Best from 2018 through 2030. 502 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
