Brezza Barolo Sarmassa Vigna Bricco Riserva 2019 750ml

The organic Brezza 2019 Barolo Riserva Sarmassa Vigna Bricco is a beautiful wine with a hint of evolution, a touch of sweetness, a dab of licorice and a lot of inner balance. It reveals a medium-plus texture with a soft, velvety finish. The Riserva sees the same winemaking process as the other wines in this range (with 10 months in stainless steel and 24 months in Slavonian oak casks), but it sees an extended 36 months in bottle. That’s the main difference. Fruit comes from a south-facing slope, and that’s what gives it more overall heft and concentration. Production is 2,584 bottles and 199 magnums.
