Barolo Broglio

Italy
Piedmont
2020

Broglio is Schiavenza's largest cru holding, with 1.5ha owned here.  The vineyard is located at 360 meters above sea level with a south-east exposure.  Due to a bit more clay in the topsoil, Broglio is also the most productive site in the Schiavenza range.  To achieve balance and to let the Serralunga terroir speak clearly, this vineyard requires more labor than their other sites, with multiple passes of canopy work, bunch-thinning, and green harvest.  Of the four Barolos, Broglio can often be the one that is most aromatically and structurally "ready" at a young age, perhaps even more so than the estate's Serralunga bottling. 4,800 bottles made.

"Vivid red berries with floral freshness. Notes of red spices and lilac with hints of sandalwood. Firm and a little chewy on the palate, with a medium body and refreshing acidity. Good concentration on the center-palate with a velvety finish"
