Bric du Liun

By Deltetto, Roero, Piemonte, Italy

Deltetto Bric du Liun

Bric du Liun means 'top of the hill' and 'lion' in the local dialect. Low production from green harvesting, overmaturing in the vineyard, drying in small open-air boxes and a touch of noble rot (botrytis) transform the grapes into a concentrated, captivating nectar.

Tasting notes

Golden yellow color, bouquet of apricot and ripe fruit, sweet, rounded and fresh in the mouth.

Pairs well with

Pairs well with cheeses, even strong varieties, and is perfect on its own for contemplation or in good company. Good with seasoned Castelmagno d'Alpeggio DOP.
