    Portrait of Alex Sanchez

    i. Biography

    From Barcelona, Alex Sanchez moved into wine through the business side, then into the vineyard and cellar at Brovia in Piemonte, Italy. That path left him with a working view of the domaine as both enterprise and craft: season by season, the state of the land, and the calls made underground all sit in the same frame. At Brovia, Sanchez’s work has unfolded alongside Barolo’s varied terrain and temperament, a region whose character is never singular and whose differences continue to shape how he works.

    The Climb

    In the business affairs of the domaine, Alex Sanchez learned the practical structure that sits behind the label at Brovia in Piemonte, Italy. That early work ran in parallel with time spent learning the ropes in the vineyards and cellar, giving him a view of how decisions made off the ground connect to the pace of a vintage and the condition of the fruit. The result is a career built on attention to detail, timing, and the link between land and wine. Today, Alex is winemaker and assists in the vineyards of Brovia, a role that keeps the business side and the agricultural side in contact.
