Bricco Ambrogio is the only hill of Roddi within the Barolo appellation, rising to 275 meters above sea level with a southeast-facing exposure, hence the name. The vineyard sits on the distinctive Marne di Sant’Agata Tipiche geological formation, which gives the soil its deep, silty richness that make this Barolo unique.
Barolo Bricco Ambrogio is obtained from Nebbiolo grapes grown at 240 meters above sea level on a south-east facing organically cultivated single vineyard. Fermented using its own yeast, the wine then matures for 20 months in French oak tonneaux, followed by at least 12 months of bottle aging before release.
Barolo Bricco Ambrogio shows a garnet red color with orange highlights, offering floral notes of rose and violet alongside elegant cherry aromas. On the palate, it is full-bodied, structured, and balanced, with subtle oak undertones that lift the varietal character of violet and marasca cherry. With an annual production of between 1200–1270 bottles in the best vintages, this is a rare Barolo. Barolo Bricco Ambrogio has an excellent aging potential, capable of evolving in the cellar for over 15 years.
It pairs beautifully with red meats, game, roasts, and braised beef, while its tannic backbone also makes it an ideal match for rich, elaborate dishes. Traditionally enjoyed with aged hard cheeses or blue cheeses, it can also be paired with dark chocolate.
