  So one year later we open another bottle of this wine, only our second of six bottles and the experience is just the opposite of the previous. It’s now 9 years old and is drinking marvelously— Surprisingly fruity with a long finish across the palate. It lacks some of the softness and complexity that a pedigree Barolo can carry, but if you’re a fan of Barolo, you won’t be disappointed. I can only assume that our fist bottle was corked or in some way spoiled to earn the ire of our earlier review. Today we had just finished a bottle of Brunate Barolo by Marcarini, a much more conservative but great Barolo. So the contrast was fairly large. Seems like the 2013 Bricco San Pietro has several more years of life.

  Turns out this should be used for cooking. This is a subpar Barolo that was foisted onto the American market where the vintners hoped the unsophisticated taste of the Americans would give it a pass. Have six more bottles to get through.
