The 2010 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio opens to thick layers of dark fruit, resin, tar and tobacco. This is a muscular and powerful expression of Nebbiolo with dark lines and determined fruit. The Bricco Ambrogio vineyard is the only cru recognized in the Roddi township of the Barolo appellation. The mouthfeel is somewhat rough in texture with a mild level of grittiness on the finish. Some 5,000 bottles were produced.
