Brovia 2022 Barolo Garblet Sue

Garblèt Sue, also known as Altenasso, is a subsection of the cru of Fiasco in Castiglione Falletto. Soils here are of sand and clay-limestone marl, but they are richer and less well-drained than those higher on the hill in Fiasco proper. Brovia owns 0.7 hectares of western-exposed Nebbiolo here, planted between 1970 and 1979, and situated at 250 meters altitude (their lowest-altitude cru holding). -Rosenthal Wine Merchants

This is the closest vineyard to the Castiglione Falletto based winery. 2022 also marks the final vintage of Garblet Sue as their contract is expiring and this plot will be passed to Elena's sister. More exuberant fruit up front with cirtus and rose makes this a great wine that won't take years of cellaring to come around. -ML
