The 2022 Bricco delle Viole shines with a vibrant, intense garnet red. The nose is deeply perfumed, noble and magnetic. Layers of violets, macerated wild roses and ripe strawberry intertwine with red and dark cherry, blueberry, a touch of mint, white truffle, star anice and wild fennel. With time, this high-pitched bouquet deepens into notes of crushed stone and a hint of tamarind. On the palate, the wine is monumental yet remarkably elegant. Dense aromas of violet and cherry merge with a dark mineral edge, touches of orange, wild fennel and a subtle saline note. The tannins are refined, appearing and receding like the weave of a tapestry. The finish is enduring, lingering gracefully into the next sip.
