Brovia Barbera d'Alba 'Sorì del Drago' 2023
Vintage Character
The 2023 Barbera d'Alba Sori del Drago from Brovia is a vivid showcase of Piedmont’s renowned Barbera grape, offering a lively, fruit-driven profile with remarkable freshness. The 2023 vintage in the Alba region benefited from a warm, sunny growing season punctuated by timely rainfall, producing wines with ripe, concentrated fruit and balanced acidity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded 91 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this wine opens with an alluring bouquet of black cherry, wild raspberry, and delicate violet, complemented by subtle herbal notes and a gentle earthiness. On the palate, it delivers mouthwatering red and black fruit flavors, a silky texture, and vibrant acidity that extends into a persistent, savory finish. This expressive Barbera is an ideal partner for classic Italian dishes such as mushroom risotto or tagliatelle with ragù, and its bright acidity also harmonizes beautifully with Shanghai-style braised pork belly, providing a refreshing counterpoint to the dish’s richness.
Winery Background
Brovia, established in 1863 in Castiglione Falletto, stands as one of Piedmont’s most respected family-owned estates, now managed by fourth-generation siblings Cristina, Elena, and Alex Brovia. The winery is dedicated to sustainable viticulture, maintaining low yields and practicing minimal intervention in the cellar to ensure authentic expressions of terroir. Sori del Drago is sourced from hillside vineyards in the Barbera d'Alba DOC, where clay and limestone soils contribute to the wine’s depth and vibrancy. Brovia’s philosophy centers on highlighting the distinct character of each vineyard, and Sori del Drago exemplifies this commitment through its purity, energy, and faithful reflection of its origin.
