2022 Brovia Dolcetto d’Alba "Vignavillej", Piedmont, Italy

Fermented and raised in all stainless steel, "Vignevillej" is always a charming seamless wine with beautiful black plum notes intertwined with violet overtones. While enjoyable in its youth, and a perfect wine to drink while waiting for the domaine's Baroli to come into harmony in the cellar, this cuvée can also age gracefully for up to a decade.

ABOUT THIS WINE

Harvested from classic clay-limestone soils from plots in Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d’Alba, some planted in 1981 and the other portion in 1993.  The grapes are crushed and fermented in stainless steel at 29 degrees Celsius for a period of a week to 10 days; then aged in stainless steel for seven to nine months before the bottling (unfiltered). 

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Azienda Agriciola Brovia is a family wine estate founded in 1863, and located within the Barolo DOCG of Piedmont. All production comes from estate vineyards, and the estate has some of the best holdings in the region, with three plots in Castiglione Falletto in the Rocche and Villero crus and the Garblèt Sue section of Bricco Fiasco, and a fourth in the Ca'Mia vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba. Each of these has its own single vineyard Barolo cuvée; together these are the flagship wines of the estate.

Brovia also makes a generic Barolo from fruit from both areas, and a Barbaresco from the Rio Sordo vineyard. The Nebbiolo line up is completed by the Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d'Alba from the vineyard of the same name in Vezza d'Alba. There are three Dolcetto d'Alba wines, two from the Ca'Mia vineyard and the third from across the estate. Finally, there are two Barbera d'Alba cuvées, one from Ca'Mia and the other from Garblèt.

The winemaking is traditional, and wines are aged in Slavonian and French oak casks of around 3000 liters in size. Viticulture has been fully organic since 2010.
