2007 Brovia Barolo Garblèt Sue’

This may be my first taste of Brovia's Garblèt Sue’. This particular bottle is a high toned fillie of a thoroughbred.  Lots of pucker power and acidity for a more voluptuous (?) vintage... Definitely early on the pouring curve IMO. Certainly a food wine. This should be very interesting in five and even ten years. 
Trying to find this vineyard for the uninitiated is fun ... it's a tiny parcel in the Altenasso subzone of the Fiasco cru in Castiglione Falletto. The vines, planted in 1970 and 1979, are located on south/southeast-facing slopes with sand and clay-limestone marl soils.
