Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, high acidity, dry
Bricco delle Viole is Vajra's flagship — the "hill of violets" high above Barolo village: ethereal Nebbiolo of rose, violet and red cherry over silken but persistent tannin, balsamic and floral rather than muscular. One of the most perfumed of all Barolos, and long-lived despite its grace.
