The soil consists of weathered, layered Sant'Agata Fossili marl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe altitude and open exposure give the wines a taut, fruity style with notable freshness — leaner than the neighboring Fossati, but less compact than the wines from Serradenari further away.  It has slightly higher acidity, compared to other Barolos, making it a soft, fresh, balanced “ready-to-drink” wine.  Despite its cooler position, Bricco delle Viole does not necessarily require a warm year to reach its full potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e97 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003eThis wine is transparent and complex, with an intoxicating floral profile enhanced by mint, red currants and sweet spices.

Marengo 2021 Barolo Bricco delle Viole manages a beautiful balance between intensity and elegance. The wine is not timid, nor does it reveal all its secrets at once. It offers a slow-motion performance of redcurrant, crushed flower and sweet violet. As always, this Barolo produces a floral signature that makes it unique. That delicate characteristic is especially defined and vibrant in this vintage.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mexcor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67993526894877,"sku":null,"price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1528\/1349\/files\/bottle_marengo_barolo_bricco_delle_viole.png?v=1794271452","url":"https:\/\/killervino.com\/products\/marengo-barolo-bricco-delle-viole-2021-piemonte","provider":"Killer Vino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
