Barolo Bricco delle Viole

Cork

Old vines planted in 1955 proved their mettle in the vintage’s severe drought, and Marengo’s Bricco delle Viole was an exciting standout in my blind tastings. From cool, breezy heights of 420 metres above sea level, it has captivating scents of damp earth and tea, which make way for raspberry preserve and heady lilac. Purity rings out on the palate, where cedar-tinged forest berries are layered with assertive chalky tannins. Truffles and stony minerals are nestled within, while frisky acidity invigorates. This balances its proportions with ease.
