2010 Azelia "Bricco Fiasco" Barolo (1.5L)

Bid on this 2-magnum lot of 2010 Azelia Bricco Fiasco Barolo (1.5L) (97VN, 96RP), from Luigi Scavino’s family estate in Castiglione Falletto, founded in 1920 and still something of a Barolo lover’s secret. Bricco Fiasco is Azelia’s historic cru, a hill the family shares with cousin Enrico Scavino of Paolo Scavino, planted with vines over 65 years old that give naturally low yields and striking concentration. Antonio Galloni of Vinous called the 2010 “incredibly polished in this vintage,” praising its dried roses, crushed berries, tobacco, mint and spice and describing it as both super-classic and seductive. Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner noted its supple, rich finesse and impeccable integration, with dark fruit, licorice, smoke and tar. From one of the modern benchmark Barolo vintages and slowly maturing in magnum, this is a collector’s large-format Nebbiolo built to drink beautifully through 2035.
