G.D. Vajra 2018 Barolo Bricco delle Viole

Pairs with: Black truffle with homemade Pasta Good for: Al fresco dining  Grape: Nebbiolo  I am from: Barolo, Italy The Story:  Among the historical vineyards of Barolo, Bricco delle Viole is the highest and the closest to the Alps. It rises from 400 to 480 meters above sea level, on the Western ridge of the village. Its name, “Hill of Violets”, originates from the flowers that blossom early here due to the perfect south exposure. Up above the fogs, Bricco delle Viole enjoys the earliest sunrise and the last sunset every day.  Why You’ll Love Me: I am full and bold, with notes of dark cherries, fresh cut roses and dried herbs.
