Viberti 2003 Riserva Bricco delle Viole (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Riserva Bricco delle Viole
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Viberti / Barolo

This Riserva Barolo offers a unique perspective on the Nebbiolo grape. There’s a ton of natural spice in this expression but it’s not the obvious vanilla and clove. Instead, this wine delivers dried currant, licorice, anise, earth and sweet cherry. It has a round, velvety feel and a soft finish. It’s ready to drink now or could age more.
