Barbaresco “Il Bricco” DOCG 2016

Pio Cesare | Piemont
Pio Cesare | Via Cesare Balbo 6 | IT 12051 Alba

Kräftig funkelndes Rubinrot und feinem Granatglanz. Konzentrierte Nase mit Noten nach Rosenblättern, Himbeeren und Maulbeeren. Entfaltet sich mächtig am Gaumen, spielt überlegen sein feinmaschiges Tannin aus und mündet geschliffen und elegant mit Aromen reifer, roter Beerenfrüchte und süßem Schmelz in einen nicht enden wollenden Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

"Glänzendes, intensives Granatrot. Eröffnet mit ansprechenden, würzigen Noten, nach Koriandersamen, zeigt dann Noten nach Weichselkirsche, Brombeere und Rosenblättern. Beginnt im Ansatz etwas zaghaft, gut herausgearbeitete Frucht, viel Kirsche, baut sich ab der Mitte des Verlaufs mächtig auf, kraftvoll und tiefgründig, Tannin in vielen Schichten, gepaart mit süßem Schmelz im Finale." Falstaff

"Only the most prized three plots from this lofty site are used for this cru, which is why production is no more than around 6,600 bottles. There's invigorating purity of fruit on the nose, with its poised raspberry and rose fragrance, and just a hint of sweet oak in the background. The attack is precise, showing good acidity that still needs time to integrate. This is a wine of elegance rather than power, and although there's still a slight grittiness to the tannins, they will soon resolve into a Barbaresco of charm and lift. Long, peppery, but polished finish." Decanter

"The 2016 Barbaresco Il Bricco, from Pio Cesare’s vineyard in Treiso, is gorgeous. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, mint, cinnamon and star anise all flesh out in the glass, with an extra kick of warmth (not heat) that gives the wine a real sense of breadth. Best of all, the 2016 will drink well with minimal cellaring, although it certainly has the substance to age well for some time to come." Vinous

"The Pio Cesare 2016 Barbaresco Il Bricco is a beautifully lightweight and lithe expression, with an enormously silky and subtle mouthfeel. Barbaresco is always a bit more open and accessible compared to Barolo, but this particular release of 7,000 bottles has benefited from an extra year in the bottle and has gained even more definition and traction in terms of mouthfeel as result. This wine speaks in long, slow and well-enunciated tones. Indeed, it whispers into your heart." Robert Parker

"Intense aromas and flavors of cherry, strawberry, iron and tar are underlined by a steely structure in this linear, complex red. Balanced in its youthful way, with vibrant acidity driving a long fruit, earth and mineral aftertaste. Shows terrific potential." Wine Spectator

"A soft, fruity red with strawberry and smoke undertones, as well as spices. Full-bodied. Chewy, round and racy at the end. Very structured and linear. Give it time to open. Better after 2022 and onwards." James Suckling
