The 2015 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio is terrific. Bold, fruity and forward, the 2015 offers tons of immediacy, not to mention impeccable overall balance. Sweet red cherry, hard candy, spice, mint, licorice and tobacco infuse the 2015 with terrific nuance to match its radiant, supple personality. This inviting, silky Barolo has plenty to offer, including tons of immediacy. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Novmeber 2019)

Tasted blind: subtle rim variation, dried cherry, cranberry. Pretty florals. A touch of tar. Palate shows powerful cranberry fruit and mulled spices. Dry but soft tannins. Finishes fresh with bright red fruit, over hints of juniper and forest floor. Structure is reminiscent of Burgundian PN. Elegant Barolo. Drink or hold.

The most approachable of the Scavino tasting we enjoyed last spring. Sweet plum; leather, dusty cherries, youthful tannic astringency. Hold for 5 years at least.
