Bricco Carlina's flagship Barolo DOCG is a blend of grapes from the estate's three Grinzane Cavour MGA vineyards — Bablino, Castello, and Raviole — vinified 100% from Nebbiolo. It shows a bright garnet color with a nose of sour cherry, raspberry, dried rose, licorice and spice, and a firm, elegant palate with fine-grained tannins and long aging potential.
A Barolo that favors tension and precision over sheer power — a benchmark for what Grinzane Cavour's limestone soils can achieve.
