Over het wijnhuis | Azelia is één van de toonaangevende wijnproducenten in de gemeente Castiglione Falletto in Barolo. In 2020 vierde het wijnhuis een indrukwekkend 100-jarig bestaan. Het wijnhuis wordt geleid door Luigi Scavino. Inmiddels is de vijfde generatie, in de vorm van zoon Lorenzo, ook betrokken bij alle aspecten van het wijn maken. |
---|---|
Wijngaard en regio | De druiven komen uit de cru Bricco Fiasco in de comune (gemeente) Castiglione Falletto in Barolo. De wijngaarden liggen op 285 meter boven zeeniveau en liggen op het zuiden. De wijnstokken zijn ongeveer 85 jaar oud. De bodems bevatten veel witte kalk. |
Vinificatie | De druiven vergisten voor 55-60 dagen op een temperatuur van 31 graden Celcius, waarbij de druivenpulp naar beneden wordt geduwd voor een subtiele, zachte smaakextractie. De wijn rijpt vervolgens 24 maanden in grote eikenhouten vaten (een combinatie van Slavonisch, Frans en Oostenrijks hout, in vaten van 25-50 hl). De wijn wordt niet gefilterd of geklaard. |

Awards | "Of the four single-vineyard wines presented by Azelia, this is the only one that draws its fruit from Castiglione Falletto. The other three see fruit from Serralunga d'Alba. It makes sense then that the 2016 Barolo Bricco Fiasco marches to the beat of its own drum when compared to its siblings in this portfolio. This wine is set apart by the precision of its aromas and not by the overt power that you get in Serralunga d'Alba. Instead, you get linear and direct aromas of wild cherry, dried blueberry, smoke, licorice and crushed limestone. This Bricco Fiasco is beautifully assembled, elegant and laser-focused. Luigi Scavino's grandfather planted this vineyard in the 1940s, and the average age of the plants is 85 years old today. The site has more sand in its soils compared to Serralunga d'Alba, and this explains the bright fruity and sometimes floral characteristics of the wine." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Fresh flowers with strawberries and cedar throughout this. It’s medium-to full-bodied with a very compact palate of tannins that melt into the wine with freshness and brightness. Linear and deep. Drink in 2023 and onwards." - James Suckling "Tasted blind. Mid ruby. Nutty, malty cherry fruit with hints of Moroccan leather. Elegant, succulent fruit with hints of nutty oak and fantastic chew and grip on the finish. Very long and still youthful." - Jancis Robinson "The 2016 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is a glorious wine. Sweet red cherry, mint, iron, rose petal and blood orange are some of the many aromas and flavors that grace this exquisite, beautifully layered Barolo. A wine of subtlety, nuance and grace, the 2016 has so much to offer. I don't remember ever tasting a Bricco Fiasco with this level of finesse and nuance. Two thousand sixteen is the first vintage in which the Bricco Fiasco is aged part in cask and part in barrique. All I can say is: Wow!" - Vinous "Scented aromas of rose, cherry, strawberry and currant are the hallmarks of this elegant Barolo, which is grounded by underlying hints of tar and iron, while the lively structure shows fine integration. Long and resonant on the finish. Best from 2022 through 2042." - Wine Spectator |
