Reviewed January 2023Bricco Fiasco is a single cru, vinified by itself since 1978, today from vines of 85 years old. The wine, after long maceration and ageing in botti grandi, opens up to smoky woodland notes, with citrus leaf, bark, wild strawberry and rose water delicacy. Full of sucrosity on the palate, the attack is youthful, with firm acidity and grainy, very elegant tannins. Structure and concentration are perfectly woven and poised, giving to this cru terrific balance which will count for ageing. (AF)

Wine Advocate
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. (ML)

Aromas of orange blossom, cherries, hibiscus, and rose stem follow through to a medium body, with firm and silky tannins and a fresh and bright finish. Lovely citrusy acidity to this.
Notes
Azelia’s 2019 "Bricco Fiasco" is a powerful single-vineyard Barolo from Castiglione Falletto. Sourced from 85-year-old vines, it opens with notes of red berries, roses, and spice. Full-bodied and structured, with refined tannins and vibrant acidity, it offers a long, mineral-driven finish. Ideal for cellaring, this classic Barolo will evolve beautifully over the next two decades.
