Suckling om: Barbaresco Il Bricco DOCG

A soft, fruity red with strawberry and smoke undertones, as well as spices. Full-bodied. Chewy, round and racy at the end. Very structured and linear. Give it time to open. Better after 2022 and onwards. 97/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Barbaresco Il Bricco DOCG

The 2016 Barbaresco Il Bricco is a single vineyard of the estate in Treiso, from its highest elevation site. There are aromas of ripe red cherry, crushed roses, and tar. The palate is flush with ripe raspberry fruit, licorice, and tonic. Drink 2024-2042. 95/100

Wine Spectator om: Barbaresco Il Bricco DOCG

Intense aromas and flavors of cherry, strawberry, iron and tar are underlined by a steely structure in this linear, complex red. Balanced in its youthful way, with vibrant acidity driving a long fruit, earth and mineral aftertaste. Shows terrific potential. Best from 2023 through 2045. 410 cases made, 110 cases imported. 95/100

Parker om: Barbaresco Il Bricco DOCG

The Pio Cesare 2016 Barbaresco Il Bricco is a beautifully lightweight and lithe expression, with an enormously silky and subtle mouthfeel. Barbaresco is always a bit more open and accessible compared to Barolo, but this particular release of 7,000 bottles has benefited from an extra year in the bottle and has gained even more definition and traction in terms of mouthfeel as result. This wine speaks in long, slow and well-enunciated tones. Indeed, it whispers into your heart. 94/100

Galloni om: Barbaresco Il Bricco DOCG

The 2016 Barbaresco Il Bricco, from Pio Cesare’s vineyard in Treiso, is gorgeous. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, mint, cinnamon and star anise all flesh out in the glass, with an extra kick of warmth (not heat) that gives the wine a real sense of breadth. Best of all, the 2016 will drink well with minimal cellaring, although it certainly has the substance to age well for some time to come. 94/100

Pio Cesare

Federica Boffa overtog Pio Cesare i en ung alder af 24 år og lægger nu al sin energi i den traditionelle familievingård. Og resultaterne er imponerende! Pio Cesare grundlagde sin lille vingård i Alba i 1881. På det tidspunkt var Piemonte en fattig region, og det var ikke let for vinbønderne at tjene...
