The Bricco delle Viole Vineyard is one of the main cru by extension in the commune of Barolo and is also one of the highest, as the altitude of its vineyards varies between 400 and 500 m above sea level. The Viberti Giovanni winery has four vineyards within the cru. The exposures are mainly south and southeast and the soil has a clay-limestone composition. The resulting wines are decidedly elegant, with fine, feminine primary aromas. The vineyard's height is found in the great freshness and minerality of its wines, well supported by an important acid framework. The plot used for Barolo riserva Bricco Delle Viole covers 0.5 hectares, while the other vineyards are mainly planted with Nebbiolo for the exclusive production of Barolo Buon Padre. Historically, in the heart of the south side of the cru, the Viberti family owns a Barbera vineyard more than 80 years old-a passionately guarded and cultivated flagship that gives rise to the Barbera label called Bricco Airoli. A new vineyard has recently been created in the highest part of the cru, with a wide exposure that rotates from the southeast to the west: one hectare characterized by a predominantly calcareous soil. Part of this important vineyard will also be used for Langhe Nebbiolo.
