Barolo, Bricco Ambrogio, 2003
A fabulous single vineyard from the Roddi comune (one of smallest areas for Barolo production more famous for its truffle hunting dog training centre) that averages 30 years old and benefits from a southerly exposure, this boasts an excellent quality of fruit. It is acutely precise and refined, delicately perfumed and high-toned, showing beautiful lush blackberry, blueberry and currant fruit supported by rich powerful but refined tannins. Very impressive.
critic reviews
The 2003 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio has held up nicely. Dark red cherry, plum, cloves, new leather and licorice meld together in a mid-weight, fleshy, attractive Barolo with plenty of freshness. As always, the Bricco Ambrogio stands out in the Scavino range for its immediacy and fruit-driven personality.
