Score 95/100 · James Suckling, Feb 2025
A complex, beguiling barbera with layered aromas of licorice, sweet violets, earth, leather, restrained black cherries and plums. Medium- to full-bodied with flavors of oak bark and graphite, showing smoky complexity, velvety tannins and zesty yet integrated acidity. Long, chocolaty and warming finish. Drink or hold. (AF)

The 2021 Barbera d’Asti Bricco dell’Uccellone is packed with dark red fruits, espresso, licorice, new leather, chocolate, menthol and new oak. Ample and full-bodied, Bricco dell’Uccellone makes quite the statement. This heady, brooding Barbera from the Bologna family has a ton to offer.
