Tasting Notes "The 2020 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is a sexy, racy wine. Pliant and deep, the 2020 is a great example of this site. Soft contours wrap around a core of dark red fruit, kirsch, spice, menthol, new leather and licorice. Time in the glass brings out the wine’s stunning inner perfume, that most Rocche of signatures. Deep and layered, with exceptional balance, the 2020 is a striking, captivating wine that captures the best the vintage had to offer." -- AG
Pairings Truffle dishes, braised meats
Awards 96pts Wine Enthusiast, 95pts Antonio Galloni

The Story

The unique qualities of this “cru” result from the sandy soil composition that is in stark contrast to the terrain that underlies its neighboring “crus” in Castiglione Falletto. The Brovia parcel (1.5 hectares) of this vineyard faces southeast and sits at 350 meters altitude. The vines were planted in 1966.

About Fratelli Brovia

Producer Story

The Brovia family established themselves as winegrowers in the hamlet of Castignlione Falletto in 1863, amassing over time an enviable collection of vineyards in some of the zone's greatest crus, as well as a sizable holding in the cru Brea in Serralunga d'Alba. Rosenthal Wine Merchant has imported the family's gorgeously traditional Barolo since the 1978 vintage - first with Giacinto Brovia, who revived viticulture here in 1953, and today with his daughter Elena and her formidably talented husband Alex Sanchez.
