96 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Violet, dog rose, dark spice and crushed mint are just some of the aromas you’ll find on the perfumed 2021 Barolo from Brovia. Made with Nebbiolo from the estate’s holdings in Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga, the delicious palate delivers layers of cherry, strawberry compote, orange zest and star anise. Aged for one year longer than their cru bottlings and in larger casks of 100hl, it’s elegantly structured and already accessible, with polished tannins that provide seamless support. It’s also well balanced, with fresh acidity. Drink: 2027–2036. Abv: 14.5% (Jul 2025)"
92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Barolo is fabulous. Aromatic and vibrant, Brovia's straight Barolo is a fine choice for drinking now and over the next decade or so. Longer aging in cask than the vineyard-designates helps accomplish that. The aromatics alone are so alluring. Sweet pipe tobacco, cedar, dried cherry fruit, licorice and dried flowers give the 2021 tons of complexity. Bright acids pull it all together on the close. As always, the Brovia Barolo is built on a core of younger-vine fruit from Brea (about 70%) plus juice from the vineyard-designates that is left over after those casks are filled. Drink: 2025-2035. (Jan 2026)"
Producer notes: "This cuvée is a blend of the younger vines found in the various crus. Since its inception, the Barolo has offered a stylish take on the Brovia approach to this appellation. There is never excess here, no attempt to showboat or to flaunt an image of power. Above all, balance is the key element in faithfully rendering a Barolo of great stature. You will find here the classic grainy tannins, the long, mineral-inflected finish, the aromas of late-summer roses and flavors of dried cherries. After a fermentation of approximately three weeks, the wine is aged for at least two years in a combination of large and medium-sized barrels of Slavonian and French origin."
