From the latin for “Union” Unio is a unique blend of Brovia's Barolo Crus. With 50% less crop than usual, making the full range was always going to be a challenge. As a result they decided to make just one wine. They tasted all of the cuvees in the cellar blind over three days, selecting the creme de la creme for the final blend and selling the rest off in bulk. A nose of red fruit and fresh herbs, on the palate energetic and flowing. Clean, clear flavours. Notes of red berries, cherry, alpine herbs and pepper spice. This is layered and complex yet juicy and lively. An elegant and intense Barolo that, although very open and alluring, has enough in reserve to suggest a good 10-15 years ageing capacity
Brovia are a traditional Barolo producer, in the winemaking sense not in the vineyard sense. That is to say yields are low but the fermentations are natural and happen in cement tanks before ageing in large old oak casks for 3 years. The estate is situated in Castiglione Falleto between Azelia and Scavino, their vineyards are spread over the Castiglione and Serralunga communes. The wines are pure, characterful and gripping but in a very gentle and moreish style, they have great intensity and charm whilst also expressing individuality and reflect the distinct differences between their great terroirs.
