| | “I’ve said it before and I’m ready to say it again, Brovia is the new Giacosa. Brovia, like Giacosa, is making wines from some of the best sites in Piedmont. Brovia, also like Giacosa, has achieved a certain level of finesse and, much like Giacosa, Brovia has worked hard to retain a sapid red fruitiness to their wines.” — Gregory dal Piaz
Since 1863, Brovia has been a family-run estate making classically styled Barolo and farming organically. The wines are truly magical and since we first tasted them in 1995, we have continued to be devoted followers. The exceptional 2013 vintage is a great introduction if you have never experienced this estate ~ and the price is right!

2013 Brovia Barolo $660 case
This cuvée is a blend of the younger vines found in the various “crus”. Since its inception, the Barolo has offered a stylish take on the Brovia approach to this appellation. There is never excess here, no attempt to showboat or to flaunt an image of power. Above all, balance is the key element in faithfully rendering a Barolo of great stature. You will find here the classic grainy tannins, the long, mineral-inflected finish, the aromas of late-summer roses and flavors of dried cherries. After a fermentation of approximately three weeks, the wine is aged for at least two years in a combination of large and medium-sized barrels of Slavonian and French origin.
