Ruby red with garnet reflections, this wine has an enticing nose of violet, dried rose petals, cherry and blood orange. The palate is elegant with great energy and youthful tannins. The finish is long lasting with lingering flavours of wild cherries and a subtle minerality.
"Wonderful roundness after a light animal scent. A ballet dancer with muscles - and a certain tenderness."
-Jancis Robinson
The 'Bricco delle Viole' vineyard is located at an altitude of 400-480 metres above sea level in the commune of Barolo and covers 4.79 hectares. Here, the soil is pure Marne of Sant’Agata fossili. It is one of the highest vineyards in Barolo, meaning it sits above the fog and enjoys the earliest sunrise and latest sunset in the area. Some of the vines were first planted in 1949 and yield less than 30 hectolitres per hectare. The high altitude and long ripening season gives these wines an aromatic complexity and richness that is lacking in lower vineyards.
