Pio Cesare Barbaresco Il Bricco 2013

Tasting Notes

Some 70% of the fruit harvested from this single vineyard goes to the classic barbaresco. The rest of the fruit is directed to the 2013 Barbaresco Il Bricco. Some 6,000 bottles are producted. This is a fantastic wine that offers a concise portrait of Nebbiolo from Barbaresco in a cooler vintage. The wine is a elegant and impactful with thick layers of cherry and fragrant rose at its core. It boasts a firm tannic structure. Those aromas soften as the wine warms in the glass to become more ethereal and elegant with time. Licorice, smoke and pressed violets appear on a second, more subtle wave of aromas. 93 Points. - Monica larner (The Wine Advocate)
