  From a site with southeast exposure in the morning sun, the 2021 Barolo Bricco Luciani most resembles Chambolle and has the La Morra-like finesse that’s a hallmark of the village. In the glass, it offers notes of rhubarb, crushed stones, fresh herbs, red berries, and incense. The palate offers finely coiled tannins, an even feel, and a long finish with notes of fresh orange citrus. It is a gorgeous wine now and will be very nice to check back in on over the coming two decades.

  The Molino family has coaxed something quietly remarkable from Bricco Luciani. From the first pour, you're transported—cherries warmed and split, dusted with clove, cinnamon, and a flicker of dried ginger, joined by rose petals and freshly dried orange peel. The aromas keep unfolding. Tannins are super fine, giving just enough grip to frame the wine's elegance. It moves with that rare kind of cool that doesn't need to prove itself. The oak spice hums beneath it all, present but never loud. Drinkable now but built to travel far. This is Barolo with confidence and calm.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  There’s ample cherry, strawberry and pome- granate fruit offsetting the ironclad structure in this succulent red. Eucalyptus, juniper and spice flavors add depth as this plays out on the lingering aftertaste
