Among the historical vineyards of Barolo, Bricco delle Viole is the highest and the closest to the Alps. It rises from 400 to 480 meters above sea level, on the Western ridge of the village. Its name, “Hill of Violets”, originates from the flowers that blossom early, thanks to the perfect south exposure. Up above the fogs, Bricco delle Viole enjoys the earliest sunrise and the last sunset every day.
Thanks to this pure light, a dramatic diuturnal temperature range and the age of its vines dating back to 1931, Bricco delle Viole generates a profound Barolo of bright aromatics, chiselled tannins and subtle minerality. 100% Nebbiolo. Bricco delle Viole MGA, Comune di Barolo.
Pairs well with rich, subtle foods like truffle risotto, handmade pasta, and thinly sliced charcuterie. It also complements dishes with fatty fish, particularly those that are fried, breaded, or spicy. Additionally, Barolo pairs well with braised meats like Osso Buco, Veal Chops, and Roasted Goose.
2020 Bricco delle Viole is a wine of finesse and mystery. Enticing nose of blue violets, dried rose petals, kirsch, blood orange.
The palate is elegant, driven by tapered energy and youthful tannins that promise a very long aging potential. Long lasting finish upholstered with whiffles of cherry, wild berries and a subtle minerality.
