This most aromatically expressive of the range. The generous silky fruit is well defined and hemmed in by fine-grained, pixelated tannins. The palate is replete with full, curvaceous and broad-ranging flavours of plum, red berry, bramble, blood-orange, iron and sweet spice, all of which are fused with a well-intergrated tangy saltiness. Dense and broad, the expansive glossy fruit and full body rendering the tannic structure invisible, initially. Only after a little aeration and a couple of sips does the stature and build of the wine become abundantly clear. Very impressive.The oldest vines on the estate. A 60-year-old Serralunga vineyard with a relatively high amount of limestone soils as well as clay that faces south east - situated on the eastern side of the commune.
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.
