Red
Briccotto
By Domenico Clerico, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Single-vineyard Barolo from the Briccotto plot in the Bussia Soprana MGA, first produced in 1978 from a few rows and bottled in only 12 vintages since; today about 1,000 bottles come from the same nine rows in the years the climate allows.
Tasting notes
Absolute elegance in a glass, with velvety tannins; a delicate Barolo.
