🏰 The 2017 vintage, despite being a hot year, saw this Barolo Brea Vigna Camia tread with surprisingly light and delicate footprints. Fratelli Brovia, a small, family-owned winery founded in 1863, boasts one of Barolo's most impressive vineyard collections. This wine is sourced from old vines, some 60 years old, planted in Serralunga d'Alba, a site renowned for its power and structure. Brea Vigna Camia is a monopole cru of the Brovia family, reflecting their commitment to organic farming, natural yeast fermentation, and traditional aging in large botti. This Barolo is described as the most aromatically expressive in the range, with generous, silky fruit, well-defined and framed by fine-grained, pixelated tannins. The palate is replete with full, curvaceous, and broad-ranging flavors of plum, red berry, bramble, blood-orange, iron, and sweet spice, all fused with a tangy saltiness. It also reveals mesmerizing aromas of violet, rose, perfumed berry, and dried aromatic herbs mingling with a whiff of forest floor. Expect a full-bodied, elegant, and delicious wine, with ripe Morello cherry, cranberry, licorice, and tobacco framed in youthfully assertive but refined tannins, closing on a tangy mineral note. Some notes also mention a light-bodied, transparent ruby color with earthy red fruit (cherry, strawberry, raspberry) and an elegant, soft mouthfeel. 【From old vines in Serralunga d'Alba, a monopole cru known for its aromatic expressiveness and elegant power, crafted by a historic family winery.】 🥂 A compelling wine for those who appreciate Barolo's complexity and aging potential. It is recommended to drink between 2024 and 2038, or even 2027–2037. 🍴 This Barolo is fabulous with homemade lasagna. Given its structure and fruit, it would also pair beautifully with rich meat dishes like braised beef, truffle-based pasta, or aged cheeses.
