94 points Wine Enthusiast: "Given the poise and complexity, it's hard to believe this is the firm's entry-level Barolo. It opens with alluring aromas of wild berry, forest floor, new leather, menthol and purple flower while the full-bodied palate delivers crushed raspberry, morello cherry, mint and star anise. Firm refined tannins and bright acidity give it a structured finesse as well as balance. Alcohol 14.5%." (Nov 2017)

93 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The 2013 Barolo by Brovia is made with a blend of fruit from the estate's various single vineyards. A large part of that fruit comes from medium-aged vines from the Brea site in Serralunga d'Alba. This is a fabulous and generous expression that offers a polished and elongated quality. The wine stretches beyond its borders with intense aromas of dark fruit and licorice. It also offers ample dimension and depth. Drink: 2020-2035. (Apr 2018)"

93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Brovia's 2013 Barolo is gorgeous. Deep, ample and beautifully layered in the glass, it possesses terrific expansiveness in every dimension. An exotic bouquet laced with hints of orange peel, cinnamon, pomegranate, kirsch and mint melds into a core of rich red stone fruit. This one of the best straight Barolos readers will come across. It is built on a core of fruit from the Brea Cru in Serralunga (the part outside the Ca' Mia parcel), with the addition of about 30% juice left over after the casks for the single-vineyard Barolos have been filled. The 2013 is one of the very finest values in high-end wine. Don't miss it. Drink: 2020-2033. (Feb 2018)"

Importer notes: "The base of this cuvee is sourced from the lower part of the 'Brea' vineyard (roughly 60%) with the remaining portion coming from younger vines in 'Garblet Sue,' 'Villero,' and 'Rocche.' Aged in large 70-hectoliter Slavonian oak, this wine is always the most approachable of their bottlings. That said, those of you who enjoyed the open and delicious 2011 and 2012 versions might be surprised by the seriousness of this exceptional vintage. The fruit is silky, pure and compact, with a fresh, high-toned character. Quite structured, this wine shows a bit more tension and architecture than it normally does -- it will be interesting to watch this wine develop over the next few years."
