Brovia, Barolo, 2013
Brovia's entry-level 2013 Barolo is a masterclass in proportion: how can a wine that blends fruit from multiple vineyard parcels offer such coherence and depth? The 2013 vintage in Piedmont was all about finesse and clarity, and Brovia's style—which leans toward power—has met these conditions perfectly. The nose sings with wild berry, forest floor, new leather, menthol, and purple flower; the palate delivers crushed raspberry, morello cherry, mint, and star anise with refined tannins and bright acidity. What makes this wine remarkable is that it costs a fraction of Brovia's single-vineyard offerings yet captures their essential character: bright, mineral-inflected, with classic grainy tannins and the aromatic complexity of great Piedmont. It's hard to believe this is merely their "entry-level" Barolo.
