About this Item

Barolo Bric Del Fiasc 2007
1 (1 x 1) 750ml
Founded in 1921 by Lorenzo Scavino and his son Paolo in Castiglione Falletto, the estate is now run by the fourth generation: Enrico Scavino alongside his daughters Enrica and Elisa. Bric del Fiasc, first produced as a single-vineyard Barolo in 1978, remains the estate's most celebrated wine, drawn from 2.5 hectares in the Fiasco cru where Tortonian limestone and Helvetian yellow sands combine to give the wine its distinctive balance of finesse and structural power. The 2007, a warm and opulent Barolo vintage, is an explosive and harmonious expression of the site. Jancis Robinson MW gave it 17.5 out of 20, and Antonio Galloni from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave it a rating of 96.

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

Critics Ratings

“Pale crimson. Intense roasted nose. Sweet grilled nuts and lots of pleasure already. Very appetising.” - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Dec 2014)

“Smoke, tar, freshly cut flowers, new leather and licorice are some of the aromas and flavors that emerge from the 2007 Barolo Bric del Fiasc. The 2007 is an opulent, explosive Bric del Fiasc that flows with marvelous density, richness and power. The wine captures all of the best qualities of the year in a remarkably open, harmonious style that is sure to find many admirers. The balance of fruit, aromatics and structure is first-rate.” - Antonio Galloni, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96/100 (Feb 2011)
