Castiglione Falletto. Palish ruby. Gently and sweetly cherry fruited with just a hint of spice. Fine texture, just a little grainy. Pretty gentle overall but persistent and the tannins build on the finish. Julia Harding MW Jancis Robinson.com (16.5)

The 2011 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is pretty but almost unusually polished and silky for a site that tends to produce much firmer and more tannic wines. Crushed flowers, red berries and mint all add to a sense of aromatic lift, nuance and total class. In 2011, the Bricco Fiasco is all about finesse. Antonio Galloni Vinous (94)
