Descrizione

The Barolo DOCG of Brovia is an oenological excellence from the heart of the Langhe, in Piedmont, an area famous for its clay-limestone soils and the favorable climate that gives this wine unparalleled structure and complexity. Made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, this Barolo stands out for a rigorous aging process that takes place both in large wooden barrels and in barriques, a process that softens the tannins and enriches the aromatic profile.

In the glass, it presents a garnet red color, while the bouquet is broad and persistent, with notes of withered roses, ripe cherry, sweet spices, and a delicate hint of leather and vanilla. On the palate, it is enveloping, elegant, with a robust yet well-integrated tannic texture, capable of magnificent evolution over time. It is ideal to accompany typical Piedmontese dishes such as braised meats and roasts, but expresses all its greatness alongside aged cheeses. A wine that tells the tradition and passion of Brovia in the production of the most authentic Barolo.

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.
