Product Notes

Azelia Barolo Bricco Fiasco wine, hailing from Italy's famed Piedmont region, is a splendid ruby red treasure. It exudes luscious aromas of rose petals, red fruits and subtle spicy notes. Upon tasting, you're struck by its majestic strength and elegantly structured flavours of sweet cherries and ripe plums. A hint of savoury earthiness balances the richness of the fruit perfectly. This beautifully complex wine, championed for its depth and longevity, emanates an opulent harmony of intensity and freshness. Matured in oak barrels, it delivers a silky finish with delicate tannins. A superb choice for discerning wine enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

Fruity and floral aromatics give way to a palate full of delicate fruit locked into a gripping, forceful tannic framework. As structured as this is, there is plenty of scented fruit bursting from the glass. Showing ripe, sweet strawberry fruit with notes of kirsch, damson liqueur and strong rose hip overtones. The Bricco Fiasco is a relatively sandy plot at the top of the Fiasco hill in Castiglione Falletto, planted with 70 year old vines. Contrary to the regular Barolo the wine is aged in oak barriques, but only 8% new wood, again to limit oak influence - a direction Azelia have been going in for some years now. This sandy soil gives incredibly aromatic and fruity characteristics to the wine.
