2008 | Brovia | Garblet Sue Barolo

The Garblet Sue distinguishes itself by its enormous energy, a positive and heady wine with a gorgeous interplay of black fruits and minerals. The lively presence on the palate reminds one of the remarkable ability of Nebbiolo to retain its vibrant acidity while building its sugar reserves.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Brovia's 2008 Barolo Garblet Sue' bursts from the glass with a heady array of black fruit, smoke, incense and licorice. The Garblet Sue', from the Bricco Fiasco vineyard in Castiglione, is usually a much more linear, tense Barolo, but in 2008 the wine has gorgeous inner perfume allied to a level of pure juiciness that rounds out some of the rough edges that are at times present in this bottling. A huge finish laced with iron, asphalt and crushed rocks rounds things out in style. This is a super-classic Barolo from Brovia.

Producer Information

Azienda Agriciola Brovia is a family wine estate founded in 1863, and located within the Barolo DOCG of Piedmont. All production comes from estate vineyards, and the estate has some of the best holdings in the region, with vineyard plots across Castiglione Falletto (in the Rocche and Villero crus) and the Garblèt Sue section of Bricco Fiasco, and a fourth in the Ca'Mia vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba. Each of these plots has its corresponding, single vineyard Barolo wine label. Together, these wines are the flagships of the estate. Brovia also makes a generic Barolo from fruit from both areas, and a Barbaresco from the Rio Sordo vineyard. The Nebbiolo line up is completed by the Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d'Alba from the vineyard of the same name in Vezza d'Alba. There are three Dolcetto d'Alba wines, two from the Ca'Mia vineyard and the third from across the estate. Finally, there are two Barbera d'Alba cuvées, one from Ca'Mia and the other from Garblèt. The winemaking is traditional, and wines are aged in Slavonian and French oak casks of around 3000 liters in size. Viticulture has been fully organic since 2010.
