Descrizione

Barbera d’Alba DOC Sori’ del Drago - Brovia is born in the heart of the Langhe, a land famous for the production of structured and characterful wines. This wine is made exclusively from Barbera grapes, an indigenous Piedmontese variety known for its versatility and color intensity. The winemaking is carried out with artisanal care, and the aging prioritizes the balance between the wood of the barrique and the typical freshness of the variety, giving an elegant and enveloping aromatic complexity.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby red color and a bouquet that blends ripe red fruits with delicate spicy and balsamic notes. The palate is rich, with good tannic persistence and a pleasant acidity that provides freshness, making this wine ideal to accompany traditional Piedmontese dishes such as braised meats, game, and aged cheeses. A true expression of the uncontested Barbera, telling the story of the territory with personality and refinement.

Winery history

The Bovio family has been in La Morra for generations. In the 1950s and 1960s Alessandro Bovio farmed grapes on a small scale. In the 1970s Gianfranco renovated the winery, and in the following years the estate began selling Nebbiolo and Barolo. Since then the estate has expanded and modernized the winery, and management has gradually passed to the next generations.

Production philosophy

The winemaking approach is founded on respect for tradition and the land: each vineyard is vinified separately to express the characteristics of the individual cru, with artisanal care in the vineyard and cellar and aging in large casks where appropriate. Attention is focused on patience, precise management of the parcels and fidelity to the character of the Langhe.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards located in La Morra and partly in Castiglione Falletto, with estate crus designated as Annunziata, Rocchettevino, Parussi, Gattera and Arborina. The estate reports approximately ten hectares of vineyards distributed across the principal MGAs of the Langhe, with vinifications carried out separately by parcel.

Awards and recognitions

Bovio's wines have received high ratings from international critics: in particular, their Barolo expressions have earned high scores from James Suckling, Robert Parker and Wine Spectator across several vintages.
