Tasting Notes

There is a welcome breadth and generosity of fruit, providing body to cover the tight and crispy tannins. Lifting floral notes strike first, followed by a refreshing sapidity and bitter herb freshness. The fruit is a little darker than usual, brambles mixing with loganberries as well as a touch of mint and cassis leaf. The wine focuses and refines even more with air and finishes with an unerring clarity and tension

About the Winery

Situated in the heart of the renowned wine region of Piedmont, Italy, is the prestigious Brovia winery. This family-owned estate boasts a rich history dating back to 1863 and is a testament to steadfast traditions, dedication, and passion for winemaking.

The Brovia family's commitment to their craft has never waned. Four generations have cultivated the vines, ensuring the inheritance of time-honoured skills and practices. Anchored in the traditional and classic style of winemaking, they've intricately merged their experience with modern techniques to further enhance the quality and character of their wines.

Brovia winery is now under the management of siblings, Elena and Alex, supported by their parents, Giacinto and Raffaella. Together, they continually uphold the legacy of their great-grandfather, Giacinto Brovia, through the production of exceptional, artisanal, and meticulously crafted wines.

Their collection is comprised of reliable and high-quality Barolos growing from a verdant territory that spans across roughly nineteen hectares. The estate produces about 60,000 bottles annually, spanning traditional Piedmontese varietals including Barolo, Barbera d'Alba, and Dolcetto d'Alba.

One of the jewels in their crown is the Barolo "Villero" crafted from the Nebbiolo grape. This particular wine is celebrated for its robust character, immaculate structure, and sensual, aromatic influences. However, all their wines stand testament to their philosophy that wine is born in the vineyard before it's crafted in the cellar.

At the Brovia winery, they use organic farming practices to cultivate and maintain their vines. Their aim is to produce exquisite wine that not only reflects the richness of the terroir, but is also respectful of the environment. Their commitment to sustainable winemaking practices and their rich family heritage sets them apart in the Italian wine industry.

In conclusion, the Brovia winery truly is a beacon of traditional Italian winemaking. Each bottle from this revered family-owned estate offers a taste of time, tradition. And a touch of the unique Piedmontese terroir.
