Bricco delle Viole is one of the last vineyards to be picked. In 2019, fruit was picked between October 11th and 23rd. Grapes were sorted manually three times: directly on the vine, as whole clusters on the sorting tables, and lastly as single berries after destemming. A traditional vinification was carried in custom-designed vertical tini, with gentle punch downs and rinsing of the cap, followed by an extensive period of maceration under submerged cap. This lasted up to 31 days. Malolactic fermentation occurred in stainless steel the following spring.
 
This wine is ruby red with garnet reflections. On the nose, it is beautifully layered with aromas of violet flowers, marasca cherries, candies and wet stones all grace this effusive and evocative Barolo. The palate reveals the signature verticality of Bricco delle Viole combined with an incredible complexity, and expands with velvety tannins and a profound finish.
