2021 Barolo Bricat, Giovanni Manzone
From a vineyard puchased in 1989 there is a little more flesh and density here than the Gramolere, with notes of fresh earth, peony, violets and some wild cherry fruit. This feels tense and coiled on the palate yet with brightness and purity that shows there is nothing forced here. The finish is supple and fluid with a little tar and wilted rose lingering on.
