Bricco Ambrogio Barolo

This shows balsamic, sandalwood, rose petals and a touch of red fruit on the nose. The palate is tight, with precise chewy tannins, tight fruit and a compact finish. A solid, exceptional Barolo that will need about three years to soften.

Permeated with cherry, pomegranate, earth, wild herb and iron flavors, this rich red is dense and powerful. Firm, chalky tannins ply its depths, leaving a solid grip on the finish, yet the fruit is ripe and the aftertaste long, with sweet fruit returning at the end. Best from 2027 through 2048. 800 cases made, 250 cases imported.

An elegant red, exuding cherry, strawberry, orange peel, rose, mineral and wild herb aromas and flavors. Vibrant and supple in texture, this is beautifully integrated, turning more floral on the lingering aftertaste. A light dusting of tannins keeps this focused. Best from 2026 through 2040. 600 cases made, 230 cases imported.
