Fascinating how different this is from the Rocche 13' (from the same producer). Goes to show that Piedmont is indeed a great distraction from Burgundy, which has been reflected in the increasing prices. Thankfully, Brovia's wines are still "under the radar." Affordable, in the scale of things. Neighbouring vineyards. The Rocche - blue-fruit focused, leaner, less tannic on the palate (but you could smell it), elegant if not firmer. The Villero - red-fruited, more classic on the nose, brawny palate, with big spice tones and a blood-like minerality. No preference of one over the other at the moment. Rocche, the queen of Brovia's line-up, and Villero, the king! Their purity, nuance, and turbo-charged aromatics are seriously impressive, though it doesn't make it any easier to drink them at this early stage. Definitely cellar these crus. Minimum 20 years!

All the typical notes of tar, roses, black cherry, kirsch, petrol, and overall loveliness.

Nose is great. Lovely roses. Obviously young. Dusty on the palate. This flits with heat on the palate. 14.5%. I would not stock up on this. ... after 90 minutes a Nebbiolo martini. The alcohol takes over. Egads. Egads.
