'Bricco' translates as ‘hilltop’ and the vineyard that is at the top of the Caramelli Hill is a prestige address if you’re a Dolcetto vine. Here you'll find perfect soils and perfect exposure, and the Mossio brothers pick only the best grapes from this plot to go into this wine. It is a single vineyard of just under 2.5 acres, planted in the 1960s to 100% Dolcetto.
Tasting Notes: The wine's intense aromas hint at plums, blackberry and red fruits, ending with a spiced finish. On the palate look for hints of plum, prune, blackberry and red fruit, spices and a very pleasant herbal flair. Soft and full with a nutty finish typical of Dolcetto. The rich texture of this wine makes it hard to believe it is done completely in stainless steel.
14-14.5% ABV and produced in miniscule quantities. A relative bargain, given its pedigree.
Pairings: Serve this wine chilled to about 60-65 F and bring on the appetizers! It plays well with most any meat roasted or brazed, dishes with truffles or mushrooms and aged or seasoned cheeses.
