The Brovia 2018 Barolo Garblèt Sue' reveals a fine texture with seamless aromas of purple and red forest fruits that appear delicately and softly. Those lifted primary notes are followed by a filigree of spice, tar, truffle and fragrant earth. The wine closes with a pretty floral note that is a mix of rose and violet. This is one of the most elegant wines of the vintage.

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.

The 2013 Barolo Garblèt Sue' (with fruit from Castiglione Falletto) is slightly more immediate and approachable compared to Brovia's other single-vineyard expressions. The bouquet is humming and singing at the moment with wild berries, spice and dried flowers. All these pretty fragrances come together with a strong sense of unity and lasting intensity.

This wine is known for its delicate floral tones and elegant minerality. The 2012 Barolo Garblèt Sue' delivers those characteristics, but in a subtler manner. This is a bright and buoyant red wine with pretty floral and fruit tones that are enhanced by dusty notes of crushed granite and polished river stone. You get extra spice and a touch of sweet cinnamon on the finish.

Dusty and dry from the outset, the 2011 Barolo Garblèt Sue' is perhaps the most mineral-driven of Brovia's new releases. Those enhanced tones of flint and crushed granite create a unique aromatic signature that is offset nicely against the round fruit flavors of cherry and blackberry that come thanks to the warm vintage. This wine would make a perfect match to braised beef dishes.
