There is a lot of oak layering to the 2011 Barolo Bricco Luciani, and at first, it's hard to find the fruit buried below. But it does emerge with powerful black cherry and plum.

A rich, broad style, offering dried cherry, plum, soy and bouillon notes. More savory than fruity, this finishes with a moderate burr of tannins and accents of licorice and mineral. Best from 2018 through 2032. 500 cases made, 270 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
