2018 Barbaresco Il Bricco

Tasting notes:

Sourced from 40 years old vines in “Il Bricco” vineyard in Treiso, one of the highest altitude sites in Barbaresco with clay soils. Aged in French oak “botti” for about 30 months. A powerful with aromas of raspberry and notes of leather, minerals and cloves. Fantastic depth of fruit on the palate well-balanced with layers of tannins. Full, deep and focused, with great length and structure.
