The 2001 Barolo Bricco Plicotti is gorgeous. Sweet red berries, flowers, mint and autumn leaves are some of the notes that emerge from this feminine Barolo. The Plicotti is subtle and striking in its beauty. It has also aged very well. Red berries, flowers and mint linger on the bright finish.

The 2001 Barolo Bricco Plicotti is gorgeous. Sweet red berries, flowers, mint and autumn leaves are some of the notes that emerge from this feminine Barolo. The Plicotti is subtle and striking in its beauty. It has also aged very well. Red berries, flowers and mint linger on the bright finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021. Grasso is one of the most overlooked producers in Piedmont. The Baroli are delicious upon release and also age beautifully, even in lesser years.

The 2001 Barolo Vigna Plicotti remains somewhat unexpressive. It presents a deep nose redolent of spices, vanilla and toasted oak. It is dense and austere for now, revealing just a hint of ripe red fruit but showing excellent length and freshness.
Bright, deep red. Raspberry, cherry and sandalwood on the nose; a bit less pungent than the Andre. Lush, fat and full, if less showy and sweet than the Andre. This may not yet be expressing itself, but the texture is pure silk. Finishes with firm, building tannins and a juicy quality.
