Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Fratelli Brovia, Barolo, Brea Vigna Ca'Mia, 2017

This most aromatically expressive of the range. The generous silky fruit is well defined and hemmed in by fine-grained, pixelated tannins. The palate is replete with full, curvaceous and broad-ranging flavours of plum, red berry, bramble, blood-orange, iron and sweet spice, all of which are fused with a well-intergrated tangy saltiness. Dense and broad, the expansive glossy fruit and full body rendering the tannic structure invisible, initially. Only after a little aeration and a couple of sips does the stature and build of the wine become abundantly clear. Very impressive.The oldest vines on the estate. A 60-year-old Serralunga vineyard with a relatively high amount of limestone soils as well as clay that faces south east - situated on the eastern side of the commune.

The 2017 Barolo Brea Vigna Ca' Mia is an exotic, intriguing wine. Sage, mint, black cherry, gravel, licorice, rose petal and smoke infuse the Ca' Mia with a good deal of Serralunga wildness. There is plenty of tannin, so readers will have to be patient. Even so, the 2017 comes across as a bit light in body and overall depth relative to the norm.

Fratelli Brovia

Fratelli Brovia

Brovia are a traditional Barolo producer, in the winemaking sense not in the vineyard sense. That is to say yields are low but the fermentations are natural and happen in cement tanks before ageing in large old oak casks for 3 years. The estate is situated in Castiglione Falleto between Azelia and Scavino, their vineyards are spread over the Castiglione and Serralunga communes. The wines are pure, characterful and gripping but in a very gentle and moreish style, they have great intensity and charm whilst also expressing individuality and reflect the distinct differences between their great terroirs.
