About

In the wonderful hills of Barolo the Brovia family have been growing nebbiolo since 1863. The family organically farms some of the greatest vineyards in the heart of the Barolo area: the cru sites of Rocche, Villero and Garblet Sue in Castiglione Falletto and Brea ‘Ca Mia’ in Serralunga d’Alba. These sites are in the heartland of Barolo, and the wines are organic, pure, unhurried, as well as naturally and traditionally made. Sisters Cristina and Elena, run the vineyard and cellar and, apart from changing to organics, and making small refinements, they have not significantly changed the traditional winemaking at all. These wines are aged slowly in 3000lt casks, then bottled, unfiltered and unadulterated, usually after about 2 years. - Importer Note

Tasting Notes

The 2018 Barolo Brea Vigna Ca' Mia is a generous, medium-bodied wine with fruit from Serralunga d’Alba. The bouquet reveals brooding tones of black fruit, tarry smoke, plum, iron ore and ferrous earth. The wine is quite elegant and polished, yet the power of the fruit (especially from this growing site) is undeniable.
