Descrizione

The Dolcetto d’Alba DOC Vignavillej of Brovia is born in the fertile vineyards of the Alba hills, the beating heart of Piedmont, where Dolcetto finds its ideal habitat. This wine stands out for its fresh and fruity profile, typical of the Dolcetto grape, with hints of ripe cherry and light floral notes that intertwine with a delicate spicy perception. The vinification takes place with careful processing and a short aging in steel, which fully preserves the liveliness and immediacy of the fruit.

On the palate, it shows medium body, soft tannins, and a pleasant sapidity that invites another sip. Perfect to pair with traditional Piedmontese dishes such as agnolotti with meat sauce or fresh cheeses, this Dolcetto embodies the essence of a dedicated territory and the elegance of respectful winemaking. A glass able to tell the intense bond between grape variety and terroir.

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.
