BAROLO BRICCO DELLE VIOLE

D.O.C.G.

Description

Bricco delle Viole is like a cut of silk: Pure, elegant, and ethereal. Born on the highest hill of Barolo, a promontory facing south, embraced by the Alps, which start in Liguria, develop on top of the Varo group and end up in the majestic Monviso. It receives the first morning sun and the last ray of the evening. In autumn this vineyard seems to float above the fog, as if detached from time and light

Variety

100% Nebbiolo. Old stumps from 1949 and successive plantings in 1963, 1968 and 1985. Massal selection of Lampia and Michet

Vineyards and terroir

Bricco delle Viole possesses extremely white soils. Being rich in limestone, magnesium and manganese, with the contribution of high altitude and and the afternoon breeze, these soils create wines rich of finesse, floral aromas and freshness

Harvest and winemaking

The old vines of Bricco delle Viole are the last to be harvested. A wait that makes our heart beat faster, because weather can change rapidly in autumn. But the patience of the farmer knows that the wait will be rewarded with a high aromatic complexity and extreme finesse. In certain vintages the harvest proceeds in order to respect the timing of these old vines. 2012 was characterized by an excellent balance for the ripening process. Harvest started on October 11th and was followed by a maceration lasting about 45 days, 10 days with a submerged cap. The malolactic fermentation in steel in spring following the harvest

Aging

32 months in Slavonian oak casks of 25hL before bottling

Tasting notes

Brilliant ruby color. Notes of cherry, roses, and kernels of cherries in alcohol, dark fruits, licorice and violet merge with shades of citrus and mint. On the palate, graceful and silky tannins and a perfect aromatic balance. Well balanced with a long finish of fresh and delicate spices
