Barolo Briccolina 2018

- 92 points -

The organic Rivetto dal 1902 2018 Barolo Briccolina is released one year later than its peers, following 36 months of aging in Swiss-made oak casks. Packaged in a bottle with a bright blue label, the wine shows a dark garnet appearance with slightly faded aromas of dried fruit and crushed flowers. This wine feels more mature compared to the 2019 Barolo, which has fruit from across Serralunga d'Alba, and the charming new Barbaresco Nervo. I would choose both of those wines over this top-shelf production, which closes with dry, dusty tannins and is more accessible overall. This is a 2,500-bottle release.
