Description
Barolo Brovia embodies the fineness of Nebbiolo, presenting itself to the eye with its slightly drained ruby red color. The nose reveals a tangle of fruity notes of cherry, dried flowers and spices, on an earthy and toasted background of coffee and tobacco. In the mouth it expresses itself in a balanced way, balancing perfectly its characteristics of structure, intensity, freshness and, above all, of tannin. In short, an expression of fine elegance and refinement, which will be able to tell its own for years to come.

| Story | History. The company started its activity in 1863 with grandfather Giacinto; his son Antonio continued his run until 1932 when, unfortunately, he was missing. For this reason, the business suffered an interruption until 1953 when the sons Giacinto (oenologist), Raffaele and Marina, all grown up, took over the management of the company focusing on the production of quality wines. At the end of the 80s the daughters of Giacinto (Elena and Cristina Brovia) after finalizing their studies (Elena is Agrotecnico and Cristina is Enotecnico) are incorporated into the company, continuing the business with great passion and assuring its future. In 2001 Elena's husband (Alex Sanchez, a graduate in Economics and Business and MBA) moved from Spain to the Langa and joined the company. |
| Origin | The Brovia Company has always been very careful in choosing the best locations of the vineyards. In fact, since 1953 (the year in which the activity is resumed) until today, the vineyards from which the grapes come are sites on particularly favorable land and exposures; some, like the Rocche and the Villero, can be considered of primary importance and very long tradition. Today the totality of all the grapes comes from vineyards owned. |
| Wine making | The vinification is traditional and the meticulous care and attention with which it is performed comes from the long experience of the oenologist Giacinto Brovia and the contribution of new techniques by Cristina. First of all there is a soft pressing of the grapes followed by a fermentation at a controlled temperature of around 28-30 ° C. The maceration times vary depending on the type of wine. Then there is a natural stabilization of the wines, then aging and refinement in the bottle. |
| Aging | As for the aging of Barolo and Barbaresco, Slavonian oak and French oak barrels of about 30 Hl are used. Once the maturation is completed, the wine is bottled without any filtration practice: the aging 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. |
