Brezza Barolo Castellero 2001




Here we are in Barolo, where the Brezza’s are traditionalist producers of Barolo wine since four generations. “Castellero” is the name of the cru and the 2001 is, rightly considered, an historic vintage.

The view is garnet red with orange nuances. There are definite hints of undergrowth such as moss and humus, with notes of sweet spice and maraschino.

The mouth is warm, dry, and broadly aligned with the sense of smell. The cup slowly opens and gives an hight quality aromatic complexity. Meeting spices, black cherry, tobacco and a slight earthy note. The tannins seem like velvet and the sip balanced with alcohol.

It ends with good persistence, paying something in freshness.
