2021 Brovia - Barolo Ca Mia (750ml)
Sourced from Nebbiolo vines in the historic hills surrounding Canelli, the 2021 Brovia Barolo Ca Mia delivers the structured elegance of northern Piedmont paired with the bright freshness characteristic of a carefully managed late-season harvest. Fermented with native yeasts and matured exclusively in large Slavonian oak botte, this 750 ml bottling maintains firm tannic architecture while gradually unveiling layers of pressed cherry, crushed rose petals, dried tobacco, and faint mineral notes. The extended skin contact and traditional aging regimen preserve the varietal’s signature aromatic complexity without compromising drinkability.
Tasting Notes
Vibrant red berry, violet, and crushed gravel open into secondary touches of wet stone, saddle leather, and subtle cedar on the palate. A refined acid backbone supports a medium-weight body, leaving a long finish marked by fine-grained tannins and a lingering hint of bitter orange. Decant for 90 minutes to fully integrate the structure, though it remains approachable within an hour. Cellar potential extends comfortably through 2036.
