Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Fratelli Brovia, Barolo, Garblet Sue, 2018

The more iron-rich, clay soils of Garblet tends to produce broader Barolos, and this is also true in 2018. Fuller in fruit and richer in tannin, the ’18 offers up more curvaceous, rich red fruits, notes of blood orange, sandalwood, spices and herbs. Rounder, easy to appreciate and with plenty of character. A plot within Altenasso. A lower vineyard with clay limestone facing west /southwest. Aged for three years in large used oak casks.

Fratelli Brovia

Fratelli Brovia

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.
