About this Wine

The Barolo DOCG "Bricco delle Viole" by Mario Marengo is an expression of excellence of the Nebbiolo grape, coming from one of the most prestigious and characteristic crus of Barolo, the Bricco delle Viole. This area is renowned for its particular exposure and soil rich in calcareous marl, which give the wine an extraordinary elegance and aromatic depth. The Mario Marengo winery, faithful to the Piedmontese winemaking tradition, produces this Barolo with great care and attention, resulting in a wine that is a true tribute to the Langhe land.

The "Bricco delle Viole" has a brilliant garnet red color, tending towards orange with ageing. On the nose, the wine releases an intense and complex aroma, with notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, enriched by nuances of rose, violet, spices, tobacco and a light touch of leather. These olfactory characteristics are typical of high quality Nebbiolo and are further enhanced by the specificity of the Bricco delle Viole terroir.

In the mouth, Barolo "Bricco delle Viole" reveals a solid and at the same time elegant structure, with fine but persistent tannins that integrate well with the typical acidity of Nebbiolo, giving the wine a long life and notable aging potential. The finish is long and persistent, with a return of floral and fruity notes, enriched by a pleasant minerality that leaves the palate clean and satisfied.

Ideal in combination with rich and tasty dishes, such as red meats, game, mushroom dishes and mature cheeses, Barolo "Bricco delle Viole" is also an excellent meditation wine, to be savored slowly to grasp all its nuances.

Wines of Piedmont

In the North-Western corner of Italy, with a backdrop of the visually stunning Alps, Piedmont is a great place to visit for wine tourism. It is also home to some of the most sought-after wines in the country.

Nebbiolo is the region’s most prestigious grape variety, a red variety not seen much in Australia. Wines made from this grape are powerful with remarkably high levels of tannins but a balancing acidity. The Piedmont region offers the grapes with a reliable autumn fog that provides a cooling effect which is particularly beneficial to the growth of Nebbiolo. This pre-harvest fog (“nebbia” in Italian) is actually where the grape’s name comes from. The fog is vital in that it prolongs the time spent on the vine and allows the grapes to achieve full ripeness.

The most famous examples of Nebbiolo come from the appellations (subregions) of Barolo and Barbaresco, known for their ability to age well, firm tannins and distinct smell of tar and roses. Barolo is a big tannic expression of Nebbiolo, while Barbaresco only about 15km away makes a more elegant style. Barolo wines are generally the more expensive of the two and are known to cellar for decades.

By volume however, Barbera is the most planted red grape in Piedmont. This grape makes a juicy, low tannin but high acidity easy-going red. Perhaps somewhat like a lighter style Shiraz.

While there are quite a few white varieties planted in the region, the most notable is Moscato d’Asti, made in a sparkling style in the Asti subregion.
