title: Pio Cesare 2012 Il Bricco  (Barbaresco)
description: This opens with aromas of French oak, espresso, toast and a whiff of rose. The dense, chewy palate offers dried black cherry, coconut, roasted coffee bean and grilled sage alongside bracing tannins that clench the finish. An orange zest note signals the close the finish. Give the tannins a few years to unfurl then drink.
variety: Nebbiolo
