Every year, we wait for our allocation of Brovia. They are some of our favorite Barolos.
We've enjoyed bottles from the 70s and 80s, but for us, Brovia has really kicked it into high gear since 2004. Brovia is producing wines every bit on the level of producers like Mascarello, Rinaldi, and Conterno.
The Brovia style isn't shy on power, but what makes them so impressive is their finesse and their nuance. They lead with red fruits, but the backdrop is a kaleidoscopic mix of earth, herb, and flower.

Out of Brovia's crus, Ca' Mia is particularly fascinating. It has personality to spare. There's an unmistakable power, richness, and truffle-y profile.
Villero is one of the top sites of Barolo’s Castiglione Falletto commune - right up there with Monprivato or Rocche di Castiglione. The vineyard faces southwest and has mostly clay soil, which gives the wines their sense of muscle, as well as their boldness and plush fruit, flower, and earth.
Brovia's 2019s are some of the most structured and compelling of the vintage. The 2019 Ca' Mia is bold, intense, and packed with complexity. What's most striking about the wine, though, is its harmony and poise. The Villero has soaring aromatics and a sleek class.Â
I'll wrap this up. At this point, not much needs to be said about Brovia. Their 2019s are among our favorites of the vintage. Don't miss these.Â
