Brezza, Barolo (Piedmont, Italy) 2008

Sep 4, 2012

By Michael Franz

 This is a very impressive wine, but it impresses less on the basis of sheer power than by its complexity and class.  Aromas are subtle but clearly defined, showing notes of wildflowers, eucalyptus, baking spices and ripe, red-toned fruit.  Oak is admirably restrained, permitting the admirably pure fruit notes to shine.
