Brezza Giacomo e Figli, Barolo (Piedmont, Italy) 2015

Apr 30, 2019

By Michael Franz

 Probably the best vintage of this wine going all the way back to the great 1996, this is the Sarmassa of the vintage, but only beating the Marchesi di Barolo by a nose.  It shows even more richness and heft than the very top Cannubi bottlings from 2015, yet there’s nothing obvious or overdone.  Beautifully proportional and harmonious, a diagnostically minded taster can work to break this down and consider its components, but doing so will only show that the acidity, sweetness, tannin and wood are…again…proportional and harmonious.  A terrific achievement.
