Note di degustazione
The 2019 Barbaresco Il Bricco is a very pretty, beguiling wine. Sweet red cherry fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, mint and spice give the 2019 striking dimension and complexity. This deceptively mid-weight Barbaresco shows plenty of depth and punch.

Fruit for this wine comes from the Bricco di Treiso MGA and immediately shows more softness and textural definition. The 2019 Barbaresco Il Bricco is layered and rich with black fruit, spice, tar and a sweet hint of cinnamon. Il Bricco offers more overall power and structure for longer cellar aging. Pairing possibilities include wintery foods. Production is exactly 7,186 bottles, with larger formats as well.
There is a more depth to the 2019 Barbaresco Il Bricco, although it is equally potent in its expressive perfume of licorice, leather, turned soil, and wild berries. Medium-bodied, with more ripeness, depth, and purity in its notes of red berries, tea leaf, and turned earth, it is long and persistent and has a great finish with present tannins. Drink over the next 12-15 years. This is all about perfume and incense.
Made with grapes hailing from one of the highest vineyard sites in Barbaresco, Pio Cesare’s ‘Il Bricco’ famously takes a while to come round but it does, it is something special. This 2019 expression is characteristically pale in colour with an elegant, nuanced nose of rose petal, violet and truffle and the palate shows substantial, yet soft tannins and a focused acidity. A classic, quietly powerful Nebbiolo that while still young is already drinking nicely.
