2019 Simone Scaletta Bricco San Pietro - Barolo DOCG, Riserva - 6 Pullot (0.7 L)

Barolo Riserva Bricco San Pietro 2019
from the boutique estate of Simone Scaletta.
Produced only in exceptional years and in extremely limited quantities, this Riserva represents the pinnacle of Scaletta’s craftsmanship in Monforte d’Alba.
​The 2019 vintage is widely regarded by critics as a "classic" and "collector’s vintage," characterized by slow ripening, incredible structural integrity, and profound aromatic depth.
​Character & Terroir
​Sourced from the heart of the Langhe, this Riserva undergoes an extended aging process in the cellar, allowing the bold tannins of Monforte to soften into a silky, sophisticated masterpiece.
​Appearance: Intense ruby red transitioning into deep garnet.
​Bouquet: A complex and evolving nose. Initial notes of withered violets and marasca cherry give way to tertiary aromas of white truffle, leather, dark chocolate, and balsamic eucalyptus.
​Palate: Powerful yet aristocratic. It displays the signature "iron fist in a velvet glove" profile of top-tier Monforte Barolo. The acidity is vibrant, ensuring a lifespan that can easily exceed 25 years.
​The Producer: Simone Scaletta
​Simone Scaletta is a dedicated "vigneron" who personally oversees every step from the vineyard to the cellar. His approach focuses on low yields and minimal intervention, resulting in wines that are authentic, terroir-driven, and devoid of excessive oak influence.
