Briccotto is a traditional Barolo from the Bussia vineyard, which used to be sold only in 1.Liters bottles. Even today, the wine is only produced in small quantities; the vineyard covers just 0.3 hectares and is planted with Nebbiolo vines, some of which are 40 years old. Rich ruby colour with a slight garnet rim. Intense, finely characterised nose with pronounced fruity nuances, lots of blackberry, dark cherry, also some cranberry. Dense and polished tannins on the palate, almost silky core, embedded in ripe berry fruit. Earthy notes on the final, savoury and long, an aristocratic wine monument! SUPERIORE.DE

"Floral and spicy aromas of fresh fruit, redcurrants and red cherries. The attack is firm, with austere, dusty tannins, refreshing acidity and a balanced, muscular finish." James Suckling

"The Domenico Clerico 2021 Barolo Bussia Bricotto opens to dark currant, plum, iris root and a hint of black licorice. It boasts a soft, medium-plus texture." Wine Advocate
