Barolo Garblet Sue, Azienda Agriciola Brovia 2015

Showing some immediate softness, the 2015 Barolo Garblèt Sue' is beautifully approachable and generously accommodating, even at this early stage in the wine's drinking window. Bring it out with a selection of goat cheeses. It's interesting to note that, at 40 years old, the vines of this cru in Castiglione Falletto actually rank as some of the youngest held by the Brovia estate, founded in 1863, before the unification of Italy. 2021-2035

Castiglione Falletto. Just mid ruby with orange tinges. The spiciest nose of the 2015 Brovia Barolos so far. Hints of laurel and a touch of liquorice and Moroccan leather and with aeration raspberry and cherry. Savoury intensity. Really elegant and supple palate with the fresh acidity peaking on the finish and underlying sandy tannins showing their muscle. 2022-2032
