"Beguiling aromas of stone fruit, dried flowers and tobacco; harmonious, if still very youthful construction, the tannins as if chiselled from stone, great length. Excellent food companion, convincing with its richness of finesse." VINUM
Bricco delle Viole is the vineyard that taught us patience and, of course, defines the style of our craft," says Aldo Vaira about this MGA. Graceful and austere at the same time, it has sweet violet and pomegranate aromas, restrained in style but not without complexity in depth. The attack is firm, with steely acidity and very austere tannins on the gums, dusty and muscular. It will soften with bottle age." DECANTER
"Aromas of gravel, flowers and berries transition into a medium to full body with firm and velvety tannins and a juicy finish. It is very pristine now and needs time to develop in the bottle." JAMES SUCKLING
"Bright ruby garnet with a discreetly brightening rim. A little restrained on the nose, after aeration a little sealing wax, raspberries, fine earthy notes, cranberries. Creamy entry on the palate, but shows power and muscle right away, lots of and layered tannin, salty, deep, punchy." FALSTAFF
"A juicy Barolo with lively acidity and a fluid profile that exudes aromas and flavours of cherries, raspberries, cut hay, minerals and eucalyptus. Taut yet long, with excellent potential." WINE SPECTATOR
"The 2019 Barolo Bricco delle Viole offers a beguiling combination of depth and energy. Dark and strong in the glass, but also quite restrained, the 2019 will need a few more years to unfold. Black cherry, graphite, crushed rocks, mint, sage and incense open up in the glass, but only with some restraint. I particularly like the way the 2019 opens up in its resonant, extended finish, but it remains a decidedly brooding Barolo whose best days lie far in the future." VINOUS
"With its high location in the hills west of Barolo, Bricco delle Viole is a world apart in terms of soils (with marl and fossils from Sant'Agata) and even harvest times. Slow and careful ageing, typical of the 2019 vintage, gives it a very delicate and ethereal expression with floral notes, wild mint and liquorice. This organic wine is solid in construction and structure." WINE ADVOCATE
"A great classic of elegance, on the nose notes of red raspberries and clementine peel, hints of nutmeg and wild iris. The palate is juicy and exciting, with a return of red fruits and spicy notes. It finishes with a floral touch." LUCA GARDINI
