These are two stellar Barbarescos from Pio Cesare. As always, the Bricco is the modern of the two wines, but in 2011, the differences between the two Barbarescos are less accentuated than they are usually. Part of that is the personality of the year, but the move towards backing off the French oak in the Bricco, while a positive for that wine, also means that stylistically the two wines aren't as different from each other as they once were, something that is only accentuated by a warm vintage, where the nuances between sites are often baked out to some degree. Still, none of the above is a negative. Far from it. Pio Cesare's 2011s are superb.
