Domenico Clerico, Barolo docg Briccotto 2008 1,5 l. Mg.

Der Barolo Briccotto Bussia war der aller erster Barolo von Domenico Clerico, aber er wurde für vielen Jahren nicht mehr als Einzellage produziert. Seit diesem Jahrgang, 2008, ist der Barolo Briccotto wieder im Sortiment. Nur in Magnum erhältlich!

"The 2008 Barolo Briccotto is a wine Clerico hasn’t made since 1994. For years, this parcel in Bussia was the backbone of the Nebbiolo-based Arte. With 2008 Clerico is reintroducing the Briccotto, which will only be bottled in magnums. It is a huge, dark wine made to emphasize the depth and textural richness that is possible with Nebbiolo. Smoke, tar, espresso and licorice add complexity on the mid-palate and finish. In my view the Briccotto is overly heavy. More importantly, though, it is the wine’s early oxidative notes that are of most concern for its longevity. The Briccotto was aged in four new French oak barrels made from staves that had been toasted on the outside rather than inside, and two used French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020." RP
