The organic Giacomo Brezza e Figli 2016 Barolo Riserva Sarmassa Vigna Bricco shows good power and heft over a medium-bodied approach. The wine exhibits elegant fruit tones with an emphasis on black and purple berries, and it continues with spice, cured tobacco and sweet gardening soil. The alcohol is high at 15%, but the natural fiber of this Nebbiolo remains fine and silky nonetheless. The wine ages in large Slavonian oak cask for two years. Production is limited to 2,577 bottles.
