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.
Don't sleep on this one just because it's not Barolo — it's proof that Brovia's care shows even in their simplest bottling.
