G.D. Vajra Bricco delle Viole, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2020

"Bricco delle Viole is the vineyard that taught us patience and naturally guided the style of our craft." - Aldo Vaira

DESCRIPTION:

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, chiseled tannins and subtle minerality.

VARIETY: 100% Nebbiolo.

TASTING NOTES:

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.
