"Aromas of watermelon, melon, oranges, flowers and cherries follow through to a medium body with fine tannins and a crunchy finish. Very primary and al dente in nature. Drinkable now, but needs two or three years to come around. Best after 2027."

"A deeper ruby color compared to the 2020 vintage, the 2021 Barolo Bricco Luciani is a noble wine that's very pure and ripe on the nose, with notes of candied roses and ripe strawberries. Recently bottled, it reveals great tension, fresh acidity, and balanced structure, with tense tannins at this young stage."

"The 2021 Barolo Bricco Luciani is gorgeous. Floral and delicate, but with lovely depth, the Bricco Luciano is super-expressive right out of the gate. Kirsch, orange peel, chalk, mint and white pepper give the 2021 an incredibly distinctive, exotic feel. This is such an attractive and complete Barolo. There's a bit of oak, but it works well here."

"Oak sensations of toasted spice and campfire ash are more prominent in the Mauro Molino 2021 Barolo Bricco Luciani. You're definitely going to want to give this bottle an opportunity to age and integrate. That oak will hold it steady in the long run, but in the short term, you can expect spicy fruit, toast and bold cherry. There is a delicate side to Bricco Luciani in La Morra that recalls medicinal herb and eucalyptus. Production is limited to 4,456 bottles."
