Brovia, Barolo, 2016
Brovia's 2016 Barolo arrives in a vintage where finesse prevails, and the wine responds with elegance and restraint. The 2016 growing season was difficult—a cool spring delayed flowering, which typically would suggest underripe fruit—but a warm, dry summer and thoughtful harvesting rescued the vintage completely. The result is a Barolo of medium body and classical austerity, where sweet red cherry, mint, white pepper, cedar, tobacco, and dried flowers emerge only with "great reluctance," as one observer noted. This is a wine that demands patience: drink it now only with rich food, but cellaring it for another five years will reward you with deeper complexity and fully integrated structure. Brovia's wisdom shines in knowing when to hold, and when to release.
