Made with old-vine fruit (planted in 1940) in Castiglione Falletto, the Azelia 2020 Barolo Bricco Fiasco has a sweet side that comes forth as candied cherry. It adds brightness for sure, but the wine is otherwise gracefully free of any overt signs of over-ripeness. Thanks to its lean and streamlined mouthfeel, I would suggest a near or medium-term drinking window for this accessible vintage. Production is limited to 5,400 bottles. Drink Date: 2025 – 2038

The team at Azelia is working to build a new winery that is slated to be completed in 2025. With this latest group of releases, we have the special 2014 Barolo Riserva Bricco Voghera.
