Brovia – Barbera d’Alba Sori’ del Drago – 2019

A Barbera with a strong personality is the hallmark of the Brovia family, and although they are more focused on Barolo, they have created a very special wine. The vineyards in Castiglione Falletto are between 20 and 40 years old and have an unusual southern exposure on clay-rich soils that allow efficient phenolic ripening. The grapes are fermented in contact with the skins in steel tanks for a week and aged in the same for several months, without filtration before bottling. It is certainly an atypical product, where the fruity and balsamic notes predominate with touches of noble spice, heralding an energetic drink with absolute freshness and silkiness on the finish. Why not try it?

Description

The Brovia winery was founded by grandfather Giacinto in 1863 in Castiglione Falletto, the heart of the Barolo production area, and after a succession of generations, today we find Elena and her Spanish husband Alessandro Sanchez carrying on the name of this historic winery. The style is traditional, but with a modern and avant-garde touch: they use medium-large French oak barrels for ageing, and organic farming in the vineyard. The winery owns and produces some of the best crus in the Barolo area, such as the Grand Cru Villero in Castiglione Falletto, famous for producing silky Barolos of unparalleled elegance, the Rocche in Castiglione Falletto, famous for producing wines that are both elegant and full of character, the Brea Ca’ Mia, the only vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba with limestone soils, and the Garblet sue in Castiglione Falletto. The peculiarity of Brovia’s wines is the constant elegance and refinement… their wines are never too hard and tannic, but silky and pleasant to drink even when young.
