PRACTICING ORGANIC FARMING
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.
KERIN O'KEEFE 100 POINTS - "Another absolute stunner, the 2019 Brovia Barolo Brea Vigna Ca' Mia is magnificent. It opens with intense aromas recalling pine forest, wet stone, wild berry, dog rose, new leather and spice. Focused, full-bodied and firm, the delicious palate delivers succulent black cherry, crushed rasberry, blood orange and licorice before closing on an iron-like mineral note. Tightly knit, fine-grained tannins provide the backbone while bright acidity keeps it impeccably balanced and lends youthful tension. This is one to lay down for decades. Drink 2031–2059.

"In 1863 Giacinto Brovia founded the Brovia estate in the village of Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Barolo district...in 1953, two brothers, Giacinto and Raffaele, grandchildren of the founder, resumed full-scale wine production... Giacinto's daughter Elena and her husband Alex Sanchez are now completely engaged as the fourth generation in the affairs of this family-run estate...
The Brovia wines are vinified in the classic style. Grapes are lightly crushed before going into the fermentation tanks. The length of the fermentation period depends on the grape variety but the Nebbiolo for various Barolo cuvées can extend as long as a month or more at temperatures between 28 and 30 degrees Celsius. The Baroli are aged for at least two years in 30 hectoliter barrels of Slavonian and French oak. The wines are then bottled without filtration." - ROSENTHAL WINE MERCHANT
