2017 Barolo Bricat, Giovanni Manzone, Piedmont

2017 Barolo Bricat, Giovanni Manzone, Piedmont

Named after a small house - the Bricat - in the vineyard, the 2017 is a brooding More intense and grippy, with talc-like tannins and then loads of dark berry fruit. Hints of tar and a slight balsamic edge show a certain generosity, but there’s still so much purity and acidity. Very well made: bury this for a few years, and you’ll have a legend on your hands.

Tasting notes

The 2017 Barolo Castelletto captures all of the savory and mineral complexity of this high-altitude site. Ethereal and gracious, the Castelletto has so much to offer. Pine, mint, blood orange, crushed raspberry and star anise are all finely sculpted throughout. This is one of the best Barolos I have ever tasted from Manzone. Don't miss it.
