The wine is then filtered and half is left to refine in steel tanks and half in barriques. At the end of spring the two wines are mixed together and the wine is left in the bottle 4 or 5 months prior to being released.

A Barbera with a deep violet-ruby red colour, Brichet has an intense, varied bouquet revealing winy hints of fresh red fruit, blueberry and prune that blend into the gentle notes of spices and coffee that are released by just the right amount of Ageing in wood . Conforming perfectly to the bouquet, the flavour is strikingly fresh and savoury, and is complemented by a forceful structure that does not conceal the balanced, yet palpable acidity and tannin content. The finale is tasty and pleasantly persistent. (12 x 75 cl)
