PioCesareBarbaresco Piemonte DOCG Description: Our Barbaresco has a glossy garnet colour with light ruby shades. The bouquet is intense and fragrant, with a hint of violets, cinnamon and vanilla. The palate is dry, full and vigorous, with overtones of peach. This wine has a quiet power. The Nebbiolo grapes for our Barbaresco come almost exclusively from our own vineyards in the village of Treiso. To these we add a small quantity of grapes from some of the best vineyards in Barbaresco and San Rocco Seno d'Elvio. The right blending of grapes from different vineyards allows us to produce a wine with many hues. As with our Barolo, the grapes for Barbaresco are carefully selected. Each and every grape is inspected to ensure perfection, and any grape that is not absolutely perfect is discarded. The three-week harvest takes place during the last two weeks in October and the first in November. The grapes are soft pressed and fermented at 25 to 26 degrees, in contact with the skins for 20 to 25 days. We have tended toward a long maturation in French oak, well beyond the terms imposed by the DOCG, so that our Barbaresco can develop a complex personality that complements her beauty.

The word Bricco, in Piedmont dialect means the peak of a hill. The ''Il Bricco'' estate is not a generic peak, but the official name of that estate, marked on the government maps to indicate the specific hill dominating part of the territory of the Treiso village. This estate has been well-known for the high quality of soil, microclimate and sun exposure for over one hundred years. From the Nebbiolo grape, we have always produced our traditional Barbaresco. Since 1990, we have also produced this single vineyard Barbaresco from a selection of exclusively selected Nebbiolo grapes grown in plots on the Il Bricco estate. We only produce ''Il Bricco'' in top-quality vintages. The characteristics of the soil, the very low yields (6 x 75 cl) Price: £283.53
