Broking
En primeur
Fragrant and ethereal in style, very lovely and seductive but with fine trembling acidity. Full-bodied fruit covers the tannins nicely but its dominant character is overwhelmingly one of charm and transparency. Cherry fruit with notes of lily, complimented by gripping, stony tannins. From more compact clay soils than the Rocche facing south west, giving rounder more generous wines that nonetheless maintain a certain elegance. Aged in large used oak casks for three years.
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.
