Brovia Barolo Brea 'Vigna Ca' Mia' 2020

Brovia is a family-owned estate, run by fourth-generation winemakers Elena Brovia and her husband Alex Sanchez. They own parcels of land in some of the finest crus of Barolo, concentrated around their home village of Castiglione Falletto, and the nearby Serralunga d'Alba.

As conscientious vignerons, their vineyards are all farmed organically, and the Baroli wines are made in a traditional style. Nebbiolo grapes are gently crushed before a long fermentation in tanks, at temperatures between 28 to 30 degrees. After aging for at least two years in large barrels, the wines are bottled without filtration, and then aged for an additional span of 18 to 24 months.

From the winery:

"This is a boisterous, friendly Barolo from the heart of Serralunga d’Alba with all that zone’s lush fruit and generous body. Here the wine thrusts us into the dense ambience of the forest: the dark berry-like fruit, the moss and underbrush, the truffles and mushrooms of the Langhe. It’s all there with bravado and confidence. Warm, rich, dense … one of our best friends at the table.

This is a one-hectare vineyard planted to Nebbiolo in 1955. The exposure is southeast and the altitude is 350 meters. Like the other “cru” Barolo, the “Ca’Mia” experiences a cuvaison of at least 3 weeks before being racked into large French “botti” for two years or more of aging."
