Our awaited 2021 vintage is finally in stock and likely to sell quickly since cru single vineyard pricing keeps going up. Now is the chance to get some of the normale Barolo from Brovia a wine made from Crus Brea (Ca Mia) in Serralunga, and Villero an Rocche Castiglione in Castiglione Faletto. The wine is always made in an elegant style showing a balance, a finesse and underlying power giving potential to cellar.
