Fedellos do Couto, Bastarda 2023 Maconnais The 2011 Barolo Bricco Fiasco

The 2011 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is pretty but almost unusually polished and silky for a site that tends to produce much firmer and more tannic wines

Fedellos do Couto, Bastarda 2023 Maconnais The 2011 Barolo Bricco FiascoThis is perhaps Fedellos do Couto's most unique wine, made from 100% Merenzao (known as Bastarda in Portugal and Trousseau in the Jura) grown on the slopes of the rivers Sil and Bibei. Racy and lifted, with a red fruit nose with lovely peppery notes and sour cherry fruit.
