Description

Our commitment to high quality, our love and respect for the land, innovation that becomes tradition, the pioneering spirit and the tailor-made approach with limited yields and small productions allowed us to define a unique, rigorous and authentic style, which has become the hallmark of our wines.

“Il Bricco” in Italian means “peak of the hill”. From different micro-plots of Nebbiolo indeed in the most-elevated portion of “Bricco di Treiso”, the very first village where Pio Family started in 1974 to acquire vineyards.

Produced for the first time by Pio Family with 1990 vintage to give voice to the particular expression of “Bricco di Treiso”, characterized by fresher and windier microclimate and steeper slopes with clay and compact marns in the soil. Powerful and structured tannins, intense and spicy fruit with a remarkable concentration, well balanced by a nice acidity. Extremely long ageing potential.
Produced in very limited quantity every year, since 1990.

Review
Perched in Treiso's loftiest heights where cool breezes whisper to Nebbiolo vines, Il Bricco crafts liquid poetry. Dark marasca cherries play a duet, some fresh from the branch, others transformed into candied jewels, while incense smoke and flower petals dance through the air. The palate performs a high wire act, balancing graceful power with aristocratic tannins from its 30 month slumber in French and Slavonian oak. A wine that's dressed for tonight's gala but has decades of stories yet to tell. Drink Now - 2045
