The 2013 Bricco Voghera Riserva is an exquisitely detailed masterpiece, born from a vintage celebrated for its classic proportions and high-toned elegance. Sourced from ancient vines—some reaching up to 120 years of age—in a unique Serralunga plot characterized by cool air currents, the wine underwent a patient ten-year maturation process in the estate's cellars.
 
It reveals a brilliant garnet appearance and a sophisticated bouquet of blue fruits, black licorice, and camphor ash, subtly layered with balsamic notes, sandalwood, and a trace of truffle.
 
On the palate, the wine balances its immense power with a remarkable sense of finesse; mouth-coating, velvety tannins provide a structured but silky frame for savory fruit and mineral-inflected spice. As noted by Monica Larner of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, it offers a "delightful expression with budding tones of evolution... a gorgeous wine that rewards those who drink it now."
