Barolo Cru Briccolina DOCG
This wine is produced in limited quantities from a single 4 acre vineyard in the village of Serralunga d’Alba. It is aged in small French oak barrels, making it the only Barolo Cru aged in French oak. The steep south-facing terrain and a soil rich in limestone and calcium carbonate makes this area highly suited for producing well-structured, full-bodied and decidedly long lasting wines with intense color and persistence.

2003 Barolo Cru Briccolina DOCG
Blackberry and dried mushroom lead to a full-bodied palate, with velvety tannins and a long, fruity finish. Shows hints of vanilla and cream. Best after 2010.----Review by: James Suckling
