Brovia, Barolo Garblet Sue, 2016 CHAMPCOUNT1116 Fabrizio Dionisio focuses exclusively onBrovia, the traditional family estate of Castiglione Falletto, makes Barolo that balances ripe, seductive fruit against a clear stamp of terroir. Garblet Sue is one of its crus inside Castiglione Falletto, and this is the 2016, a great, classically structured vintage with a tannic backbone built for the cellar. Still young for a wine of this pedigree, it rewards a long decant today or, ideally, more years lying down. Traditional Barolo in the making.
