Viberti Bricco delle Viole Barolo Riserva DOCG

The story of the Viberti winery begins when Cavalier Antonio Viberti buys the Locanda del Buon Padre. It was the year 1923 when Antonio began to produce wine for the guests of his Locanda in the basement of the Buon Padre.

In the mythological geography of Barolo, there are cru that have made history, and then there is Bricco delle Viole. This is a magical place, an elevation that looks out over the mountains and feels the breath of the Alps. It is no coincidence that the Viberti family chose to make wine separately from one of the most special parcels of this vineyard.

The wine comes from a single 0.5-hectare parcel located to the left of the road that divides the cru. Unlike other producers, this parcel is used exclusively for the Riserva and is not blended with other parcels of Bricco delle Viole. It is a unique parcel, intended only for the Reserve, to preserve its identity and unmistakable character.

“If you close your eyes and taste a Bricco delle Viole, you recognize it immediately. It has a scent that is uniquely its own. It is a Barolo that does not want to be powerful, but elegant.” – Claudio Viberti
