Brovia, Langhe Nebbiolo, 2022 NO20230823 hand-harvested and naturally fermented2022 represents a big step up in quality for Brovia's Nebbiolo, as now the fruit is sourced entirely from the Barolo villages of Castiglione and Serralunga rather than across the river in Roero. The extra depth is noticeable, but the wine remains vibrant and wonderfully drinkable. This is a much loved wine Chez Flatiron.
