Pio Cesare Barbaresco Il Bricco di Treiso DOCG Italy 2019 - 1 Bottle

Product Description

Il Bricco is Pio Cesare's prestigious single-vineyard Barbaresco from Treiso, one of the most celebrated communes in the Barbaresco appellation. The vineyard sits at a high elevation and is known for producing Nebbiolo with remarkable perfume, freshness and structure. The wine reflects the estate's traditional approach while showcasing the distinctive character of the site.

Vintage Conditions

The 2019 vintage was particularly favourable for Nebbiolo, with a long growing season allowing the grapes to develop excellent concentration and tannic maturity while retaining freshness. The resulting wine combines ripe red fruit with the structure and longevity expected from a serious Barbaresco.

Winemaking Techniques

Made from 100% Nebbiolo from the Il Bricco vineyard in Treiso, the grapes undergo traditional fermentation and extended maceration before being matured in oak. The use of large oak casks helps preserve the purity of the fruit and vineyard character while allowing the wine's substantial tannins to integrate.
