Tasting Note
In ‘God’s little vineyard’, 2007 was a warm and very dry year, which has produced a richly textured wine with notes of star anise, leather and dried fruit on the nose. Bold and somewhat opulent in style, this has rich, fig and damson fruit and a layered, mouthfilling texture. Another great Bricco from this most traditional of domaines.
Region Details
Piedmont is a powerhouse for quality wine in Italy, with a number of producers, traditional and forward-thinking, leading the charge. Both barolo and barbaresco have been transformed in the last thirty years, so that the old definitions no longer apply. Nebbiolo remains the noble grape but viticulture, vinification - and pricing - have changed irrevocably. Modern wines are elegant, rich and fruit-focused, with a fine veneer of new oak; even traditional wines are less woody and display sleeker tannins than in the days of yore, and the caricature of pruney, blood-coloured and astringent barolo, or of soft-centred and overstretched barbaresco is now consigned to history. The region delivers a multitude of wines from other grapes too, white, red, sweet and sparkling, and a near-unbroken run of good and great vintages since the mid-nineties have added to the appeal.
Vintage Notes
2007 - Italy
2007 started with drought, following a very dry winter, and when temperatures rose in the summer months, the outlook was not good. August was a little cooler, and September and October were pleasant, with occasional refreshing rain. In Piemonte, yields were low, due to the drought, and were diminished further in some areas by severe hailstorms in May, however, the remaining wines are set to be of very good quality. In Tuscany, the Indian Summer allowed growers to leave the fruit on the vine longer than usual in order to ensure full maturity.
