JS96: A lovely nose of roses, wild strawberries, lavender and a subtle touch of cedar. The palate is medium-bodied and persistent, with delicate red fruit flavors. It’s concentrated, with lovely balance and elegance. Try from 2026.
VM95: The 2021 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is a super-classic wine from this Castiglione Falleto site. Bright acids and veins of tannin drive through a core of red-toned fruit. White pepper, mint, slate and orange peel all race across the palate. The 2021 Bricco Fiasco is an archetype of excellence. It is one of the finest wines I have tasted here in some time.
