Brico San Giuliano

2006 Barbaresco Nebbiolo

The Pasquale Pelissero Brico San Giuliano is a stunning representation of Nebbiolo from the renowned Barbaresco region. This red wine displays a captivating deep garnet color, hinting at its complexity and age. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied character, showcasing the hallmark elegance of Nebbiolo, with a balance of mild acidity that enhances its refreshing profile. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of ripe red cherries and blackberries, accompanied by delicate hints of rose petals and tar. Tannins are well-integrated and notable, adding structure without overwhelming the wine’s inherent finesse. This vintage, with its beautifully crafted blend of fruit and earthy characteristics, is beautifully dry, making it an exceptional companion for rich dishes like braised meats and truffle risotto.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
