Produced only in vintages capable of achieving exceptional quality standards, this wine comes from vineyards located between 420 and 480 meters above sea level, among the highest elevations in the municipality of Barolo.

A wine that authentically reflects its territory while showcasing the nobility and potential of Nebbiolo. Contains sulfites.

History of the Wine

Bricco delle Viole Riserva was created with the goal of selecting and enhancing the finest grapes from one of the most iconic geographical indications of Barolo. This wine represents the highest qualitative expression of Casina Bric’s production and is crafted only when the vintage offers fruit of exceptional quality. The vineyards, located in the highest sections of the cru, benefit from particularly favorable climatic conditions that encourage slow and complete grape ripening. The Riserva version interprets the character of Bricco delle Viole with even greater depth, emphasizing structure, complexity and long-term ageing potential. Every bottle becomes a testament to a unique terroir and a winemaking tradition built on patience, precision and respect for natural rhythms.

Vineyard Philosophy

The vineyards dedicated to Barolo Bricco delle Viole Riserva are situated between 420 and 480 meters above sea level, making them among the highest sites within the entire denomination. This privileged position allows the vines to benefit from significant diurnal temperature shifts, a key factor in preserving freshness, aromatic complexity and varietal precision. Nebbiolo thrives under these conditions, developing ripe tannins and an exceptionally layered aromatic profile. Vineyard management focuses on maintaining the natural balance of the vines while encouraging the production of grapes capable of faithfully expressing the character of the terroir. Low yields and meticulous grape selection ensure raw material suitable for long ageing and extended bottle development.

Winemaking Approach

Barolo Bricco delle Viole Riserva 2015 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo and follows a winemaking philosophy that combines tradition with meticulous craftsmanship. Fermentation takes place in truncated cone-shaped oak vats, a choice that allows gentle extraction and enhances aromatic complexity. Traditional cap management techniques accompany a long skin maceration lasting approximately 35 to 40 days, enabling the extraction of depth, structure and exceptional ageing potential. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes extended maturation in Slavonian oak casks, where it develops harmony, elegance and tannin integration. This carefully managed ageing process results in a Barolo Riserva that is both austere and refined, built to evolve gracefully over decades.

Tasting Notes

Color: intense and brilliant garnet red, displaying evolved hues that reflect maturity and significant ageing potential.

Nose: elegant and complex, revealing aromas of violet, leather, aromatic herbs, delicate spices and mineral nuances that unfold progressively in the glass.

Palate: structured, savory and profound, characterized by an authoritative tannic framework supported by freshness, precision and a long mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairings

Barolo Bricco delle Viole Riserva 2015 is an ideal companion for traditional cuisine and sophisticated gastronomic preparations. It pairs beautifully with braised meats, game dishes, slow-roasted meats and premium cuts of red meat. Its structure and complexity also make it an outstanding match for aged and mature cheeses. Thanks to its aromatic depth and remarkable persistence, it complements elaborate tasting menus and special occasions with elegance. This is a contemplative wine that rewards slow appreciation, allowing its many layers and nuances, developed through extended ageing, to fully emerge in the glass.
