Bricco Pernice Barolo DOCG
Wine Spectator
95 Points
Expressive, this red delivers sun-kissed hay, macerated cherry, strawberry, iron, tar and tobacco aromas and flavors. Vibrant and intense, with a long, complex aftertaste of macerated fruit, mineral and tobacco elements.

This gorgeous red has enticing aromas of rose, iris, woodland berry, camphor and truffle. Full bodied and savory, the enveloping palate doles out raspberry compote, licorice, baking spice and tobacco alongside firm, refined tannins and bright acidity. A minty note lingers on the close.

Valter Fissore’s 2016 Barolo Ravera Bricco Pernice is a tour de force, taking the power, balance and elegance of his 2016 Barolo Ravera to an even higher level. The wine bursts from the glass with aromas of rose petal, violet and mint that are fresh and high toned, beautifully representative of the outstanding 2016 vintage. The wine has an inner brightness and lift that propel those flavors across the palate as they gain notes of raspberry, licorice and orange peel...The tension between subtle power and exuberant energy in the 2016 is a thrill that every Barolo lover should experience.

Aromas of dried roses, asphalt and orange peel follow through to a full body with a solid yet silky tannin texture to the clear, vivid fruit. Goes on for minutes. A subtle and very structured red.
