Barolo DOCG Bricco delle Viole

Tasting notes

Wine with a brilliant garnet red color with coppery reflections.  Persistent, floral and fruity olfactory intensity with prevailing hints of red flower petals, plum jam, notes of licorice, sandalwood and musk. On the gustatory analysis, the strength and elegance stand out, with a pleasant flavor deriving from the excellent minerality.

The texture is soft and reveals mature tannins. The aromatic perceptions evoke the olfactory ones of fruit and spices with a good persistence in the aftertaste characterized by nuances of dark chocolate powder and medlar peel.
