2021 Brovia, Barolo, Villero

The 2021 Brovia Barolo Villero, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo and classified as DOCG, hails from the esteemed Villero Cru in Castiglione Falletto, a historic site renowned for its profound wines. This exceptional vineyard, characterized by its south/southwest exposure and calcareous marl soils at 280-300 meters above sea level, consistently yields a Barolo of remarkable structure and depth. The 2021 vintage, marked by a warm, dry summer, ample winter water reserves, and crucial cool nights, produced a wine of exceptional balance and finesse, showcasing vibrant acidity and finely integrated tannins. Brovia, a historic estate founded in 1863, meticulously translates this unique terroir through organic farming and traditional, low-intervention methods, including long macerations and aging in large Slavonian oak casks. This approach allows the inherent elegance and power of the Villero cru to shine, resulting in a complex and age-worthy Barolo that beautifully expresses both its origin and the compelling conditions of this particular vintage.
