The 2022 Barolo Bric Del Fiasc pours a vibrant ruby hue and delivers layered aromatics of redcurrants, iron earth, orange spice, incense, and mint. Medium-bodied, focused, and linear, it has remarkable energy and complexity without relying on sheer weight. The palate is mouthwatering and persistent, with dried apricot notes lingering through the finish. Roughly 10,000 bottles were produced. Drink 2027-2046.

Smooth and stunning, the captivating 2022 Barolo Bric del Fiasc shows its great class even in what was an incredibly challenging vintage, starting with its beautiful aromas of iris, perfumed berry, menthol and culinary spice. Enveloping but boasting a weightless finesse and great intensity that many of the 2022s lack, the delicious palate delivers succulent Morello cherry, raspberry compote, licorice and mint accompanied by velvety tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it lifted and balanced. Drink 2027–2037.

An intense wine, meaty and floral, showing violets, roses, red currants and pomegranate with a lot of licorice root and mint. Full-bodied with a thick, almost austere palate, this has powerful, dusty tannins and crisp acidity. Cool, herbal finish. Try from 2027.
