The Vajra 2017 Barolo DOCG Bricco delle Viole is a masterpiece from Piedmont, a wine that embodies the essence of the Langhe terroir with unparalleled expressive strength and refinement. Coming from the 2017 vintage, which benefited from favorable climatic conditions, this Barolo is a tribute to the winemaking tradition of one of the most celebrated regions in the world. The Bricco delle Viole, in particular, is renowned for its unique characteristics, with clay soils that impart surprising minerality and enveloping aromatic complexity.
With an alcohol content of 14.5%, this full-bodied red wine presents itself in the glass with an intense, luminous, and deep garnet red color. On the nose, captivating notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, immediately unfold, beautifully intertwined with accents of wilted rose and sweet spices. With oxidation, earthy aromas and hints of leather and tobacco emerge, adding depth and character.
On the palate, the Vajra 2017 Barolo DOCG Bricco delle Viole offers an experience of great elegance, with silky and well-balanced tannins that accompany a vibrant freshness. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a trace of cherry and a subtle memory of aromatic herbs. This wine pairs wonderfully with rich and structured dishes, such as Barolo braised beef or porcini mushroom risotto, and is perfect for moments of meditation and contemplation, or to be shared on special occasions with good company. An excellence not to be missed!
