| Over het wijnhuis | Azelia is één van de toonaangevende wijnproducenten in de gemeente Castiglione Falletto in Barolo. In 2020 vierde het wijnhuis een indrukwekkend 100-jarig bestaan. Het wijnhuis wordt geleid door Luigi Scavino. Inmiddels is de vijfde generatie, in de vorm van zoon Lorenzo, ook betrokken bij alle aspecten van het wijn maken. |
| Wijngaard en regio | De druiven komen uit de cru Bricco Fiasco in de comune (gemeente) Castiglione Falletto in Barolo. De wijngaarden liggen op 285 meter boven zeeniveau en liggen op het zuiden. De wijnstokken zijn ongeveer 85 jaar oud. De bodems bevatten veel witte kalk. |
| Vinificatie | De druiven vergisten voor 55-60 dagen op een temperatuur van 31 graden Celcius, waarbij de druivenpulp naar beneden wordt geduwd voor een subtiele, zachte smaakextractie. De wijn rijpt vervolgens 24 maanden in grote eikenhouten vaten (een combinatie van Slavonisch, Frans en Oostenrijks hout, in vaten van 25-50 hl). De wijn wordt niet gefilterd of geklaard. |

| Awards | "A product of 85-plus-year-old vines in Castiglione Falletto, the Azelia 2017 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is subdued and delicate, with linear fruit of wild plum and blackberry, plus hints of blue flower and pressed violet. The age of the vines and the depth of the root system in the loose soils of this site have helped to maintain balance and freshness during the hottest moments of this vintage. Indeed, this wine is more immediately silky in texture compared to Azelia's wines from Serralunga d'Alba (like the Barolo Margheria also reviewed in this report). This release of 5,600 bottles presents a nice opportunity to try your hand at a delicate rabbit ravioli for a very special occasion a few years from now." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "A firm, fine-grained red with plum, mahogany, iron and bark on the nose and palate. It’s full-bodied with a dusty texture from the tannins. Flavorful finish. Needs time to soften, but a beautiful young Barolo. Try after 2024." - James Suckling "The 2017 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is bright and effusive from the very first taste. Crushed flowers, red berry fruit, orange peel, spice and mint all grace this nervy, mid-weight Barolo. Medium in body and translucent, the 2017 has quite a bit to offer. It is an especially savory, linear Barolo." - Vinous "Located in Castiglione Falletto, Bricco Fiasco is a vineyard of old vines (85 years old) considered to be the historical selection of the estate. Fermented with indigenous yeasts for approximately 60 days with a submerged cap, it's then aged in large oak vessels for 24 months. Intense ruby in colour, it is restrained but full of layers, dominated by a bouquet of rose and violet, with fruit ranging between cranberry and dried cherry, followed by leather and earthy tones. Sucrose, fleshy and pure on the full-bodied palate, with velvety tannins and refreshing acidity. The floral character is intoxicating, while the extraction is so great on the mid-palate and chalky on the finish. Drinking Window 2021 - 2040" - Decanter "Dried berry, pressed rose, star anise and botanical herb aromas slowly take shape in the glass. Elegant and austere, the firm palate features tart cherry, blood orange, licorice and tobacco alongside tightly knit, refined tannins that leave an assertive finish. It definitely needs more time to fully unwind and develop. Drink 2027–2032." - Wine Enthusiast "This savory red offers a mix of muddled plum, licorice, tar, leather and earth aromas and flavors. Firm, yet ripe tannins lend support. Overall this is balanced and long. Best from 2024 through 2037." - Wine Spectator "Tasted blind. Mid ruby. Nutty, malty cherry fruit with hints of Moroccan leather. Elegant, succulent fruit with hints of nutty oak and fantastic chew and grip on the finish. Very long and still youthful." - 17,5/20, Jancis Robinson over de 2016-vintage 2 rode glaasjes over de 2016-vintage |
