Note di degustazione
The 2011 Barbaresco Il Bricco is Pio Cesare's top Barbaresco, and, as the name implies, emerges from the top of the family's estate in Treiso. The Bricco also gets more barrique, although in recent years the malos have been done in steel rather than French oak, which gives the Bricco a greater element of classicism. Although less famous than either Barbaresco or Neive, Treiso is home to a number of stellar vineyards. The reality is that this fruit needs very little makeup. Powerful, rich and structured, the 2011 Bricco possesses explosive energy and firm tannins that need time to soften. A host of dark spice, iron, smoke, French oak and tobacco wrap around he intense finish.

Boasting an elaborate style, the 2011 Barbaresco Il Bricco delivers a soft and luscious interpretation of Nebbiolo. It's a wine with a modern approach and soft, enriched contours. The wine is aged in barrique for 18 months and then settles in large oak casks for one more year. It stands out for the density and vigor of its fruit. This Barbaresco finishes with pretty tones of ripe fruit, tobacco and tarry resin.
