PRACTICING ORGANIC FARMING
WINE ADVOCATE 97 POINTS - "The Brovia 2021 Barolo Brea Vigna Ca' Mia is another beauty from a stellar vintage. This expression is slightly more floral initially, in a playful way, but fruit is from Serralunga d'Alba, so you get the power and those characteristic notes of iron and candied orange peel as well. It has it all, including a bolder and bigger texture, not in the sense of volume but in the sense of length. The wine remains extremely polished and fine overall. Fruit comes from one hectare on clay limestone soils at 300 to 370 meters above sea level. Production is 5,000 bottles."
Brea lies along the Serralunga ridge at the eastern edge of the Barolo zone. It's a fairly well-protected, early-ripening vineyard, though Vigna Ca' Mia has a cooler southeastern exposure. Similar to the magic of Vigna Rionda, the wines match an austerity of structure in youth with clear signs of elegance and expressiveness.
Brovia's Barolos lean toward the traditional profile with longer extraction times (up to a month). They evolve slowly, with suggested drinking windows for the Brea bottling starting 8-10 years from vintage.
