Name commonly used in the Italian region of Piedmont (also Bric) for the top of a hill. In particular, this refers to a vineyard situated on the top of a hill with a steep slope. Bricco is also often used in wine designations. Other names for qualitatively outstanding areas are Colli, Ronco, Serra, Sori and Vigna. A list of keywords relevant to vines is included under vineyard area.
Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
