Critics Ratings

'The 2010 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is going to need quite a bit of time to fully come together. Dark cherries, plums, tobacco and spices burst from the glass in an intense, structured Barolo that hits all the high notes. Next to the Ravera, the Bricco delle Viole is more floral, lifted and finessed, especially with time in the glass. Rose petals, savory herbs and sweet spices add the last nuance of complexity. The 2010 is fabulous; it's as simple as that.' - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 96+/100 (Sept 2014)

'The solid core and taut structure are coated with cherry and raspberry flavors. Though light-weight, this red is intense and long, with a firmly tannic finish. Very fresh in the end. Best from 2018 through 2032.' - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Dec 2014)
