2018 Barolo Bricat, Giovanni Manzone, Piedmont
Dry | Red | Still | 14.5%
From a small parcel in the Gramolere vineyard, named after the small house (the Bricat house). This is a real charmer in 2018. There are talc-like tannins, and then loads of dark berry fruit. There’s a freshness and energy here, with incredible purity on the finish. This is beautifully balanced, and very long indeed.
