About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from a south-facing vineyard in the commune of Gavi. Its old vines were planted by Bruno in 1953 and 1955 and yield an average of 30–40 hL/ha.

Vinification

The grapes are hand-picked into small crates to protect the berries. Whole bunches are pressed, and the juice ferments in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine rests in stainless-steel tanks for 12–18 months.

Tasting profile

The grapes give the wine pronounced structure and acidity, allowing it to retain its aroma and freshness over many years.

Label / history

The wine is named after the company’s founder, Bruno Broglia.
