2024 Brovia - Roero DOCG Arneis (750ml)

The 2024 Brovia Roero DOCG Arneis delivers a crisp, saline-driven white wine crafted from forty-year-old vines in Vezza d’Alba. The estate traces its roots to 1863, with Giacinto Brovia reviving dormant vineyards in 1953 and establishing celebrated holdings across Villero, Rocche di Castiglione, and the historic Brea cru. Located just across the Tanaro River from these famed red wine zones, the Arneis parcel shares comparable geological conditions with the neighboring Barolo district. Modern oversight falls to Elena Brovia and Alex Sanchez, who manage every harvest cycle using a traditional, hands-on approach that prioritizes vine health over yield.

Hand-harvested grapes undergo a brief skin maceration before fermenting in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Omitting oak aging entirely keeps the profile lean and terroir-specific, preserving the grape’s natural aromatic structure. Anticipate pronounced citrus and ripe melon accents framed by white pepper spice, bright primary acidity, and a notably mineral, saline finish. The straightforward architecture and refreshing lift pair cleanly with shellfish, fresh ceviche, or simple vegetable-based dishes.
