2018 Brovia Barolo

The Brovia 2018 Barolo is a traditional-style wine blended from younger vines across multiple prime vineyard sites in the producer's stable, including 'Brea'. Produced by the family estate Azienda Agricola Brovia in Piedmont's Barolo DOCG, this wine exemplifies the estate's philosophy of balance and elegance over power. Modern vinification techniques and riper fruit result in an approachable wine that is exciting to drink now yet remains ageworthy for years to come. The wine exhibits classic grainy tannins and a long mineral-inflected finish.
