The 2012 ‘Bricco delle Viole' is an absolutely brilliant effort from Marco Marengo in this vintage. This gorgeous wine opens with pretty aromas of ripe cherries, strawberries, floral, earthy mineral and licorice notes all come together beautifully. It continues to impress with its outstanding balance, which is backed by a wonderful fine polished texture. It finishes up with remarkable focus and precision, showing excellent length. Very accessible today, yet should also evolve gracefully for years to come. (Best 2018-2030) - August, 2016 (JD)
