Azelia is still something of a Barolo lover's secret. Though the estate is not a high-profile one, proprietor Luigi Scavino is cousin of Enrico Scavino of the renowned Paolo Scavino estate, and shares ownership of the famed Fiasco hill in Castiglione Falletto with him.

The characteristic energy of Bricco Fiasco comes through nicely on the finish.

2009 (Vintage 1999)

Pale garnet-brick colour. Alluringly fragrant aromas of dried roses and violets, moss, black truffles and cassia with a core of warm raspberry. Crisp acidity and a medium level of chewy tannins with plenty of mouthfilling berry and spice flavours on the palate. Long, layered finish.
