Brovia
About Azienda Agricola Brovia
Few producers in Piedmont have experienced such a meteoric rise in prestige in recent years as Brovia, described by Monica Larner (Wine Advocate) as “one of the brightest stars of Castiglione Falletto”. That is lavish praise indeed given this region is home to both Paolo Scavino and Roagna, but Brovia wears it well, making wine the old fashioned way whilst crafting Barolos that are effortlessly balanced, ethereal and long-lived.
A family firm run by Elena Brovia, in tandem with her Catalan husband Alex Sanchez, the wines are fermented naturally in concrete tanks before ageing takes place in large, old oak vessels resulting in old-school Barolo as it is meant to be.
Their wines are muscular, intense and long-lived, but unlike the hard-edged Barolo of days gone by, they are ineffably elegant and charming. Quite simply, these are absolute must-haves for lovers of the long-cherished classic style of wines from the likes of Rinaldi, Bartolo Mascarello, Roagna and Canonica – when only “proper” Barolo will do, look no further than Brovia.

Vinous (89)The 2019 Dolcetto d'Alba Solatìo is the first release of this wine since the 2009. Brovia makes the Solatìo only in exceptional years that allow for a slightly later harvest of the Dolcetto. Inky dark fruit, leather, menthol, lavender and spice are dialed up in this potent, authoritative Dolcetto from Brovia. |

Vinous (90)The 2019 Dolcetto d'Alba Vignavillej is a deep, fleshy and voluminous wine. Inky blue/purplish fruit, spice, leather and licorice are all amplified in this decidedly large-scaled Dolcetto from Brovia. Most of this fruit is from the family's Brea property in Serralunga. |

Vinous (89)The 2020 Dolcetto d'Alba Vignavillej, from vines in both Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga, is a powerhouse. A blast of dark fruit, smoke, licorice, melted road tar and licorice add to an impression of virile intensity. This is far from an easygoing Dolcetto. |
