2023 Brovia Dolcetto d’Alba "Vignavillej", Piedmont, Italy
There are 10 units left in stock.
ABOUT THIS WINE
“Vignavillej” is Brovia’s classic Dolcetto, sourced from estate vineyards in Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d’Alba. These sites—rich in limestone and clay—give the wine its mineral backbone and aromatic lift. In 2023, the growing season delivered balanced ripeness and vibrant fruit, ideal for Dolcetto's naturally lower acidity and early-drinking appeal.
Fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and aged briefly in tank to preserve freshness, this wine is made with a light touch—no oak, no frills, just clean, varietal purity. The fruit is dark and generous, but the wine remains lithe and refreshing, with subtle herbal and earthy notes adding complexity. Ideal with antipasti, pizza, grilled sausages, or mushroom pasta.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Brovia, established in 1863 and based in Castiglione Falletto, is one of Barolo’s most respected traditional producers. Now run by Elena Brovia and her husband Alex Sanchez, the estate emphasizes organic farming, low yields, and minimal intervention winemaking. Their commitment to site expression and purity of fruit extends beyond Nebbiolo into their exceptional Barbera and Dolcetto bottlings.
The “Vignavillej” Dolcetto represents Brovia’s philosophy in microcosm: honest, terroir-driven, and precise. It reflects their deep roots in the Langhe and their belief that even the region’s everyday wines deserve the same attention and respect as its grandest crus.
