Tasting notes
Bricco Fiasco is a proprietary name for a vineyard in Castiglione Falletto with 85 year old vines. Luigi Scavino says, "These vines represent a unique heritage for our family." The 2019 Barolo Bricco Fiasco (with 5,800 bottles released) is a little shy initially, with heavier berry fruit aromas that eventually relax to show campfire ash, pencil shaving and pressed rose. Put this bottle aside for a few more years.

Castiglione Falletto. Mid ruby with orange tinges. Complex, with quite a bit of concentration on the nose and, with aeration, opening up to perfumed cherry fruit. Juicy and with plenty of lifted acidity and plenty of slightly drying tannins, at least for the moment. The whole is elegant, though, and has great balance, while all single parts still need to integrate. (WS)
The 2019 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is bright, precise and nicely delineated. Sweet red cherry, mint, white pepper and orange peel give this mid-weight, nervy young Barolo plenty of top register intensity. Deceptively understated and nuanced, the 2019 is going to be interesting to follow.
