Brovia Dolcetto d'Alba Vignavillej 2023

Country: Italy

Type: Red Wine

Grape: Dolcetto 

The Brovia estate encompasses 19.2 hectares with 55% of the production dedicated to Barolo, 25% in Dolcetto, 10% to Barbera and the remaining 10% produced from Arneis, Nebbiolo d’Alba and Freisa.

The Brovias are extremely conscientious winegrowers. They farm organically and harvest is done entirely by hand. Brovia’s wines are vinified in the classic style. Grapes are lightly crushed before going into the fermentation tanks. The wines are bottled without filtration. The Arneis is fermented in steel with indigenous yeasts.

The Dolcetto is harvested from classic clay-limestone soils from organically-farmed 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* Celsius for a week to 10 days; then aged in stainless steel for seven to nine months before the bottling (unfiltered).

Dry and structured, easy drinking, with an intense bouquet of concentrated black cherry and blackberry, tilled earth, and dried flowers.
