    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Whilst showing typical Bric del Fiasc backbone, this has a higher-toned redder fruit profile than usual. A real livewire, the flavours spring to life on the palate, wild strawberries and raspberries underpinned by undergrowth and earthy spices. There is a well-toned muscle to the radiant fruit, and the energy is electric. A wine of brilliance and force. Bric dël Fiasc is Piedmontese dialect for Bricco Fiasco, the top of the Fiasco vineyard. Situated at 280 metres above sea level in Castiglione Falleto, this is one of the great Crus of the region that makes powerful but classy, age worthy wines. It was the first single vineyard bottling Scavino made in 1978.

    Susan Hulme,

    The 2018 Paolo Scavino Barolo Bric Del Fiasc has a very open nose, multi-layered with orange peel, wildflower, cigar box, and subtle spice aromas of nicely integrated oak. It is beautifully seductive and sensuous on the palate, hedonistic yet with a firm grip of tannins that have a fine crushed-chalk texture. It is a sensual yet assertive wine with a beautiful aromatic depth. Keep for one year drink to up to 25-30 years.

    Antonio Galloni,

    The 2018 Barolo Bric del Fiasc, usually the most potent wine in the range, comes across as light, diluted and lacking in freshness. The challenges of the vintage were apparently impossible to overcome. I can’t say I am entirely surprised, though, as many wines from this sector of Castiglione Falletto are on the lighter side in 2018. Dried out fruit intermingled with hints of cedar and spice give the impression of a Barolo that is on a relatively fast aging curve.
