Barolo 2021

Description

Barolo Brovia epitomises the finesse of Nebbiolo, presenting itself to the eye with its slightly discoloured ruby red colour. The nose reveals an intertwining of fruity notes of cherry, dried flowers and spices, against an earthy, roasted background of coffee and tobacco. In the mouth it expresses itself in a balanced manner, perfectly balancing its characteristics of structure, intensity, freshness and, above all, tannin. In short, an expression of exquisite elegance and refinement that will have its say in the years to come.

“In the wonderful hills of Barolo wine, where the landscape begins to take on a different, more animated guise, there is a family that has always been associated with wine: the BROVIAs.
The Winery had been set up as far back as 1863 and is settled in Castiglione Falletto. Paying always attention to the importance of the “terroir”, with time and an uncompromising attitude to the selection of the finest vineyards in Langa, the family has been able to acquire great vineyards in the Barolo growing area: Rocche, Villero and Garblèt Sue’ in Castiglione Falletto and Ca’Mia and Brea in Serralunga d’Alba.
Thus, the philosophy of the Winery is to propose great personality Barolos (as with the other wines produced), all made in the same way, but with very specific and clean characteristics, always different among them; Barolos that faithfully reflect the richness of our great Langa vineyards.“ Read more

Story	History. The company started business in 1863 with grandfather Giacinto; his son Antonio continued to run it until 1932 when, unfortunately, he passed away. For this serious reason, the activity was interrupted until 1953 when his sons Giacinto (oenologist), Raffaele and Marina, all grown up by then, took over the running of the company, concentrating on the production of quality wines. At the end of the 1980s, Giacinto's daughters (Elena and Cristina Brovia) completed their studies (Elena is an Agrotechnician and Cristina is an Enotechnician) and incorporated themselves into the company, continuing the business with great passion and ensuring its future. In 2001, Elena's husband (Alex Sanchez, graduate in Economics and Commerce and MBA) moved from Spain to Langa and joined the company.
Origin	Azienda Brovia has always been very careful in choosing the best vineyard positions. In fact, from 1953 (the year in which the activity was resumed) to the present day, the vineyards from which the grapes come are located on particularly favourable soils and exposures; some, such as Rocche and Villero, can be considered of primary importance and long tradition. Today, all the grapes come from estate vineyards.
Wine making	Vinification is traditional and the meticulous care and attention with which it is carried out comes from the long experience of oenologist Giacinto Brovia and the contribution of new techniques by Cristina. First of all, there is a soft crushing of the grapes followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature of around 28-30 °C. Maceration times vary depending on the type of wine. Then there is a natural stabilisation of the wines, followed by ageing and refining in the bottle.
Aging	Barolo and Barbaresco are aged in Slavonian and French oak barrels of approximately 30 Hl. Once the maturation is complete, the wine is bottled without any filtration practice: the ageing takes place in a place with constant temperature and humidity, protected from sunlight and artificial light. Here the wine develops its characteristic 'bouquet' giving the best sensations.
