Wine: Broccardo “La Martina” Barbera d’Alba 2018
The Broccardo vineyards are in three of the most popular areas of the Langhe suited to the production of Barolo wine – Monforte d’Alba, Barolo and Novello. The vineyards cover just seven acres facing south and southwest. The composition of the soil is characterized by clay, tuff, sand and silt left by the withdrawal of the Sea Padano about 16 million years ago. The alternation of these layers gives to their wines excellent finesse, structure and elegance. The wine cellar is in Monforte d’Alba, which in 2014 was designated a Unesco patrimony.
Dating back to 1900, the great-great grandkids now manage the company – Federica, Fillipo and Laura have been charged with stewarding their family’s heritage and craft in winemaking.
