- Score: 87 Vintage 2019 Wine Advocate The Broglia 2019 Gavi La Meirana shows ripe apricot and heavy citrus fruit. This estate also made a sparkling wine from the Cortese grape called La Meirana; however, this wine is still. The wine is thick and viscous with honeysuckle and cloying white rose. Just a little more freshness would go a long way here. These results are slightly flat and dense. Shelf Talker Full Page Review

- Score: 89 Vintage 2018 Wine Enthusiast Aromas evoking honeydew, yellow peach and hawthorn form the nose. On the tangy palate, fresh acidity lifts ripe apricot, green apple and a hint of almond alongside bright acidity. KERIN O’KEEFE Shelf Talker Full Page Review
