Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Feb 19
The 2015 Barolo Brea Vigna Ca' Mia captures all the best the vintage has to offer. Black cherry, plum, espresso, sage, menthol, licorice and leather are all kicked up a few notches in a decidedly dark, strapping Barolo that screams with Serralunga character. Exotic, dark and totally alluring, the 2015 has a very bright future, but readers should be prepared to be patient, as the tannins clearly need time to soften.

The Brovia 2015 Barolo Brea Vigna Ca' Mia offers good balance and an authentic representation of the vintage. You can sense some of the heat of the growing season here, thanks to the wine's open and accessible persona; it enters the palate with softness and elegance. This was the first of the single-vineyard wines from Brovia released this year that I tasted in a flight meant to increase in intensity.

Serralunga d’Alba. Lustrous mid ruby. Very compact and closed on the nose. Noble and backward with a peppery touch while with aeration it shows brooding depth. Slumbering complexity with hints of iron. Austere but perfectly balanced palate with great depth of cherry fruit, but very slow to open up and with persistent, underlying grainy stalky tannins and a perfect dose of sappy acidity on a long, savoury cherry finish. This will need time, but its build and structure nears perfection. (WS)
