Product Notes

Azelia Barolo Bricco Fiasco is a captivating Italian wine with a rich, full-bodied character. This exquisite Barolo boasts a radiating ruby colour that hints at the complex flavours within. It exudes intensely layered aromas of ripe fruits, spices, and undertones of vanilla. On the tongue, it's an enchanting medley of red berries and liquorice, underscored by structured tannins and a lingering finish. Distinctly balanced in acidity, this wine offers an opulent experience, splendidly encapsulating the essence of Piedmont's typical terroir. Azelia's Barolo is the perfect accompaniment to red meat dishes and mature cheeses.

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.
