Bovio has quietly built a reputation for producing traditional yet accessible Barolos—wines that respect Nebbiolo’s natural structure but emphasize finesse and purity over sheer weight. Sourced from various prized sites around La Morra, Bovio’s Barolo offers a perfect snapshot of this commune’s signature style: floral lift, graceful tannins, and an almost Burgundian texture.
The 2020 vintage delivers open-knit charm without losing classic Barolo backbone. Aromas of rose petal, sour cherry, anise, and dusty earth rise from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and savory, with fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and a finish that echoes with red fruit and tar.
It’s a Barolo you can enjoy earlier than some of its more brooding cousins, but with the structure and depth to reward a few years of cellaring as well.
Pair with: truffle risotto, braised short ribs, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, or wild mushroom dishes.
