Barolo Brea Vigna Cà Mia, Brovia 2011

Lavender, mint, sage, smoke, tobacco and plums are all laced together in the 2011 Barolo Brea Vigna Ca'Mia. As always, the Ca'Mia is a decidedly vertical Barolo built on a spine of persistent tannin, but in 2011 there is a little bit of added polish that serves to soften the contours. Tucked off the main road, Brea remains one of the least well-known vineyards in Serralunga. The 2011 is a great wine to start exploring some of the nuances of this site. A huge finish that brings together power and voluptuousness captures the pure radiance of the year.

Serralunga d’Alba. Lustrous ruby with orange tinges. Minerally, savoury fruit nose and wonderful, supple, elegant palate with lots of grainy tannins interwoven with the fruit. Fine, long and tactile. Drink between 2018-2032
