Paolo Scavino, Barolo Bric Fiasc Vintage:2016 Pierre Lurton and technical director

Pierre Lurton and technical director Pierre-Olivier Clouet told me that the final blend is 72% merlot and 28% cabernet franc (it was 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc during the Primeurs)

Fine-grained tannins sneak in very slowly and meld seamlessly with the energetic fruit

Here the nose is elegant

The natural ripeness of the year amps up the Chardonnay flavors

Paolo Scavino, Barolo Bric Fiasc Vintage:2016 Pierre Lurton and technical directorThe 2000 Barolo Bric del Fiasc (magnum) explodes onto the palate with layers of raspberry jam, new leather, licorice and spices, showing tons of intensity, expressive inner sweetness and an impossibly long, powerful finish. Bric del Fiasc is usually a massively tannic wine, but in 2000 the fruit has enough intensity to nearly cover the tannins. This is superb, great Bric del Fiasc. Antonio Galloni
