2019 Brovia Barolo Rocche di Castiglione

About This Wine

Rocche is a key site for Brovia. Not only does Brovia have a very choice parcel in the vineyard, but it’s their oldest holding and home to their oldest vines. If we were to tally up our favorite bottles of Brovia, ones from Rocche would dominate.

In Rocche, you find a gorgeous balance between the more muscular Barolos of Monforte and Serralunga and the more perfumed and feminine examples from La Morra. Rocche leads with beautifully complex floral, red fruit, and spice notes, backed by a firm edge of tannin. Above all, Rocche is about aromatics and elegance.

The 2019 is a deep and powerful expression of the vineyard. It offers up explosive dark fruits with spice and layered savory notes of herbs and earth. The way that it manages such harmony and poise while being brooding and muscular is really impressive.
