About this wine
From a small plot in Castiglione Falletto's Garblèt Sué vineyard — less than half the size of Rocche di Castiglione — this Barolo comes from nearly 50-year-old, south-southeast-facing vines on limestone soil, producing a wine of subtle power and vivacity.
A lighter-on-its-feet cru Barolo — vivacious rather than heavy.
Sommelier's Note
"Garblèt Sué shows that a small plot can still carry a big personality — this is Brovia's most energetic cru wine."
Food Pairings
Its vivacity pairs well with dishes that have a touch of acidity of their own — tomato-based braises, or grilled meats with a bright herb sauce.
When to drink it
Lively dinners with friends, food-focused Barolo pairing menus.

バローロ
Barolo
RedNebbiolo
Brovia's entry-level Barolo is built on a core of young-vine fruit from Brea and (since 2020) Gianetto in Serralunga d'Alba, with a spillover of 20-30% from the estate's crus in Castiglione Falletto — Rocche di Castiglione, Villero and Garblèt Sué. Aged for roughly two years in 30-hectoliter Slavonian and French oak casks and released only after further bottle age, it is a faithful, traditionally-made introduction to the house style.
バローロ ロッケ・ディ・カスティリオーネ
Barolo Rocche di Castiglione
RedNebbiolo
Brovia's flagship single-vineyard Barolo, from a 1.5-1.6 hectare plot of vines over 50 years old in the celebrated Rocche di Castiglione cru — a sandy, southeast-facing site at 300-350 meters. Fermentation begins in cement, and the wine is racked into 40-hectoliter French and Slavonian oak casks for aging, producing a wine renowned for its seamless balance of power and finesse.
バローロ ヴィッレロ
Barolo Villero
RedNebbiolo
From vines planted in 1961 in the Villero cru of Castiglione Falletto, this bottling is the quintessential expression of the appellation: elegantly perfumed, with delicate red fruit and fine, polished tannins that set it apart from the estate's more powerful crus.
バローロ カ・ミア
Barolo Ca' Mia
RedNebbiolo
Sourced from a 1955 planting in the Brea cru of Serralunga d'Alba, Ca' Mia is Brovia's classic expression of this commune: vibrant fruit and full body underpinned by refined tannins, standing in contrast to the more perfumed Castiglione Falletto crus.
ドルチェット・ダルバ ヴィーニャ・ヴィッレイ
Dolcetto d'Alba Vigna Villej
RedDolcetto
Brovia's everyday-drinking red, from clay-limestone plots in Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d'Alba planted in 1981 and 1993. Fermented at 29°C in stainless steel for 7-10 days and aged in stainless steel for 7-9 months, it is bright, fruit-forward, and unoaked — a wine meant to be poured young.
ドルチェット・ダルバ ソラティオ
Dolcetto d'Alba Solatìo
RedDolcetto
A rare, late-harvest Dolcetto made only in exceptional vintages — just 12 times since its inaugural 1985 release. Picked from Brovia's old Dolcetto vines in Serralunga's Brea after the Nebbiolo harvest, aimed deliberately at maximum ripeness, and aged in neutral wood, Solatìo is dense, powerful and complex enough that the Brovia family pours it after their Barolos in tastings.
