justerini & brooks tasting note

The same vineyard as Azelia’s Bricco Fiasco but named using the Piedmontese dialect. A typical Barolo from the heavy clay soils of Castiglione, this is full of perfumed, warm, rich sweet fruit, powerful but not too aggressive, multi-layered and enveloping ripe crushed black fruits with notes of mineral and liquorice spice.

critic reviews

94/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

Scavino's 2003 Barolo Bric del Fiasc bursts from the glass with notable exuberance. Black cherries plums, iron, smoke and leather are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. A dark, powerful wine, the 2003 needs more time in bottle before it starts to offer its best drinking, especially in magnum. Still the balance of fruit and tannin is super-impressive in the Bric del Fiasc, one of the most intriguing wines of this very challenging year.
