99 points Kerin O'Keefe: "The extraordinary 2021 Vigna Ca’ Mia shows it Serralunga heritage and captures the qualities of this outstanding vintage. It has beguiling aromas of wild rose, rosemary, camphor and cedar while the vibrant, structured palate captivates with ripe Morello cherry, raspberry, licorice, blood orange and cake spice. A backbone of firm, fine-grained tannins provides support while fresh acidity keeps lifted right through its lingering, salty finish. What a breathtaking wine. Drink 2033–2051. (Feb 2025)"
97 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The Brovia 2021 Barolo Brea Vigna Ca' Mia is another beauty from a stellar vintage. This expression is slightly more floral initially, in a playful way, but fruit is from Serralunga d'Alba, so you get the power and those characteristic notes of iron and candied orange peel as well. It has it all, including a bolder and bigger texture, not in the sense of volume but in the sense of length. The wine remains extremely polished and fine overall. Fruit comes from one hectare on clay limestone soils at 300 to 370 meters above sea level. Production is 5,000 bottles. Drink 2027-2048 (Jun 2025)"
96 points Michaela Morris (Decanter): "The 2021 Vigna Ca' Mia is captivating. It comes from the heart of the Brea MGA, which is solely owned by the Brovia family. The ideally exposed south- to southeast-facing plot was planted in 1955 and has been vinified separately since 1995. It expresses itself eloquently with savoury iron, iodine and hibiscus tea. The palate is judiciously concentrated with red currant and fleshier red cherry tossed in dark dusty earth. Vibrant acidity makes this seem effortlessly weighted, and powdery tannins bring immersive, surround sound depth. A long finish extends the pleasure even further. Drinking window 2027-2042 (Jan 2025)"
95+ points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Barolo Brea Vigna Ca' Mia is a rich, potent wine. Sage, menthol, gravel, licorice, incense and dried flowers run through a core of dark Serralunga fruit. This sepia-toned, brooding Barolo needs time, but it possesses notable textural depth and power. Time in the glass brings out the wine's breadth and overall presence. The 2021 offers a captivating mix of finesse and intensity, the duality that is at the essence of what Barolo is all about. Drink 2028-2041 (Jan 2025)"
95+ points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "A jeweled ruby red color, the 2021 Barolo Brea Vigna Ca' Mia is more introspective initially and leads with notes of eucalyptus, black cherries, balsamic herbs, and fresh tobacco. It’s powerful and broader shouldered on the palate, with expansive, ripe tannins, dark mineral undercurrents, and a mouthwatering flourish of salted licorice on the finish. This well-detailed and commanding wine is going to benefit from another couple years in cool cellars. Drink 2027-2047 (May 2025)"
95+ points Ian D'Agata Wine Review: "Good deep red-ruby. Pomegranate and fresh red currants dominate the aroma and flavour profile at first, but this Barolo quickly veers into darker fruit nuances with aeration. Very mineral on the fresh, bright and long finish. While this does not have the steely resolve of the Brovia 2021 Villero, it does boast a great deal more of peppery fruit. Drinking window: 2028-2039. (May 2025)"
95 points James Suckling: "This Barolo opens with aromas of violets, bark and touches of resin, tar and elderberries. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with a firm tannin frame and a delicate and delineated red fruit profile. Solid and complete. A very elegant and polished interpretation. It needs a couple of years to come together. Drink from 2027. (Jan 2025)"
