The beautiful 2013 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio comes from the Scavino family's biggest single-vineyard parcel that measures five hectares. This is a more structured and tannic expression of Nebbiolo that could use a few extra years of cellar aging to move it forward. The wine sports thick concentration and luscious fruit flavors that peel off in thick and succulent layers. Blackberry is followed by dried cherry, leather and spice. Only a handful (maybe five?) producers make Barolo from Bricco Ambrogio. This is a seriously gorgeous wine.

Enticing aromas of flowers, cherry, strawberry and wild herbs rise from this harmonious, graceful red, which is supple despite a firm underlying structure, showing finesse. The aftertaste unfolds like a lazy summer afternoon. Best from 2021 through 2040. 534 cases made, 275 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
