Tasting Note

Fruity and floral aromatics give way to a palate full of delicate fruit locked into a gripping, forceful tannic framework. As structured as this is, there is plenty of scented fruit bursting from the glass. Showing ripe, sweet strawberry fruit with notes of kirsch, damson liqueur and strong rose hip overtones. The Bricco Fiasco is a relatively sandy plot at the top of the Fiasco hill in Castiglione Falletto, planted with 70 year old vines. Contrary to the regular Barolo the wine is aged in oak barriques, but only 8% new wood, again to limit oak influence - a direction Azelia have been going in for some years now. This sandy soil gives incredibly aromatic and fruity characteristics to the wine.

Product Notes

Azelia Barolo Bricco Fiasco is a premium red wine produced in the Piedmont region of Italy. It is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Bricco Fiasco vineyard, which is situated at an altitude of 370-400 meters above sea level. The soil in this region is a mix of clay and limestone, which provides the necessary nutrients for the grapes to develop their unique flavors and aromas.

This wine is aged for 30 months in traditional oak barrels, which gives it a refined and complex taste. It has a deep ruby red color with hints of garnet. The aroma is intense and complex, with notes of red berries, spices, and leather. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a long and persistent finish.

Azelia Barolo Bricco Fiasco is a wine that requires patience and time to appreciate fully. It is a perfect accompaniment to hearty meat dishes, rich pasta dishes, and strong cheeses. It is a wine that will impress both novice and experienced wine connoisseurs alike.
