Fratelli Brovia - Barolo Brea Vigna Ca'mia 2010 (750ml)
Vinous: 97 Points
Smoke tar earthiness and licorice add gorgeous dimensions of complexity in the 2010 Barolo Brea Vigna Ca? Mia. Here too the flavors are remarkably bright and focused. The dark brooding notes of Serralunga are very much present but the 2010 impresses for its pure balance harmony and class. Dried rose petals spices licorice and game add complexity on a huge finish supported by big incisive tannins. This is another utterly vivid dazzling Barolo from Brovia. Here too readers will note a slight name change. (Drink between 2020-2035)

The 2010 Barolo Brea Vigna Ca' Mia hails from the eight-hectare Brea vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba. Nebbiolo vines are almost 60 years old but the site is also planted to Barbera Dolcetto and Moscato for Moscato d'Asti. I love the exotic personality of this wine. The bouquet shows dark fruit and thick layers with cinnamon cumin and cardamom at the back. There are dried herbs and rosemary sprig as well. This wine is especially characterized by its tannins that are extra firm and etched. The wine will require extra aging time in order to find balance and harmony.
