Barolo DOCG Bricco San Pietro
Barolo DOCG Bricco San Pietro
Bricco San Pietro is one of the flagship wines of the Broccardo company. A Barolo with a nose centered on fruity and floral aromas; fresh and dry in the mouth, with dense and precise tannins and slightly spicy notes. It is an intense wine, with good acidity on the palate, a fine and austere Barolo that reflects the typical characteristics of the Monforte d’Alba terroir.
