    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Superbly balanced body, gripping tannins and floral high-toned fruit. A beauty. One of the great Castiglione vineyards, planted on a mixture of sand and clay, the same vineyard as Scavino’s Bric dël Fiasc but named using the standard Italian dialect as opposed to that of Piedmont. Aged in large Slavonian oak ‘botti’ and barriques with 20-25% new oak for 24 months. A cuvée that Azelia first bottled up separately in 1978.

    Antonio Galloni,
    Vinous
    Azelia's 2009 Barolo Bricco Fiasco wafts from the glass with dried flowers, crushed raspberries and sweet spices. This is a surprisingly soft, floral vintage for the Bricco Fiasco, with fewer of the signature carnal notes of this site and moderate structure. Soft, silky tannins frame a finish that is unusually feminine and gracious for a vineyard that typically yields powerful, intense Barolos. The 2009 was aged 80% in cask and 20% in French oak barrels.
