BRICCO AMBROGIO

Enrico Scavino’s experience, recognizes the quality of this undiscovered cru and decided to purchase it in 2001. By luck this cru was the only one of the estate untouched by the hail in 2002 and debuted as a solo showing lots of personality and potential even in such a difficult year. This is a cru of great and intense and multifaceted aromatic spectrum that shows a soft textured body with deepness but quite elegant and soft tannins. In 2012 we pourchased a very small plot in Bricco Ambrogio cru, planted with very old vines of Barbera and Dolcetto. An extremely fortunate addition to the estate.
