Tasting notes
Aromatic complexity unfolds with layers of rose petals, tar, and wild cherry, complemented by subtle hints of tobacco and dried herbs. The palate reveals concentrated red fruit flavors, firm yet refined tannins, and bright acidity that provides excellent structure. Notes of licorice, leather, and earth emerge mid-palate, leading to a long, persistent finish marked by mineral undertones and lingering spice. The wine shows classic elegance with impressive depth and balance.

About this wine
Mario Marengo's Bricco delle Viole is a classic expression of Barolo DOCG, Italy's most prestigious red wine appellation. Crafted from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Piedmont region, this wine embodies the traditional winemaking heritage of the Alba hills, where calcareous soils and a continental climate produce wines of remarkable structure and longevity.
This full-bodied red wine is defined by firm, high tannins that give it impressive depth and aging potential. On the palate, expect characteristic red fruit notes alongside herbaceous undertones, hallmarks of quality Nebbiolo from this storied region. The 14% ABV provides excellent balance, allowing the wine's complexity to unfold gracefully over time.
Perfect for discerning wine collectors and those seeking serious food pairings, this Barolo DOCG pairs beautifully with beef, lamb, and venison. It also complements rich pasta dishes and mushroom risotto, making it an ideal choice for fine dining and elegant entertaining aboard yachts or in private villas across the French Riviera and beyond.
