About this WINE

Azienda Agricola Brovia

Azienda Agricola Brovia

Azienda Agricola Brovia is situated in Castiglione Falletto, Piedmont, northwest Italy. The winery has a rich history dating back to the 19th century when the family started cultivating vineyards in the area. Today, it’s owned and operated by the Brovia family’s third generation, consisting of sisters Cristina and Elena Brovia, along with Elena’s husband, Alex Sanchez.

The estate covers approximately 14 hectares (35 acres) of vineyards, primarily planted with Nebbiolo, the grape variety responsible for producing Barolo wines. Additionally, they grow smaller amounts of other local grape varieties, such as Dolcetto and Barbera. The vineyards are managed with great care and respect for traditional viticultural practices, including organic and sustainable farming methods.

Brovia is known for producing high-quality, terroir-driven wines that reflect the unique characteristics of their vineyard sites. They follow a traditional approach to winemaking, combining modern techniques with respect for the region’s winemaking heritage. The wines undergo extended maceration and ageing in large oak casks to develop complexity and structure while preserving the elegance and finesse that Barolo is famous for.

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

A notoriously pernickety grape, it requires sheltered south-facing sites and performs best on the well-drained calcareous marls to the north and south of Alba in the DOCG zones of Barbaresco and Barolo.

Langhe Nebbiolo is effectively the ‘second wine’ of Piedmont’s great Barolo & Barbarescos. This DOC is the only way Langhe producers can declassify their Barolo or Barbaresco fruit or wines to make an early-drinking style. Unlike Nebbiolo d’Alba, Langhe Nebbiolo can be cut with 15% other red indigenous varieties, such as Barbera or Dolcetto.

Nebbiolo flowers early and ripens late, so a long hang time, producing high levels of sugar, acidity and tannins; the challenge being to harvest the fruit with these three elements ripe and in balance. The best Barolos and Barbarescos are perfumed with aromas of tar, rose, mint, chocolate, liquorice and truffles. They age brilliantly and the very best need ten years to show at their best.
