Fratelli Brovia, Barolo, Rocche di Castiglione, 2011

2011
Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
Fratelli Brovia, Barolo, Rocche di Castiglione, 2011

Refreshing and lithe sweet red berry fruits, very pretty indeed and exquisitely fine tannins, bright and gently gripping, extremely high-toned and stylish. All on fruit and sheer beauty. Stunning. A south east facing Castiglione vineyard with a touch of sand in the clay soils giving fresh, fragrant, elegant wines.

Antonio Galloni, Vinous
The 2011 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is sweet, floral and wonderfully expressive, all Brovia signatures. Silky tannins provide the backdrop as this sensual, polished Barolo shows off its class. Perfumed notes are woven throughout, but it is the wine's exceptional textural finesse that stands out most. Hints of hard candy, mint, cinnamon and succulent red cherries add the final shades of dimension. In 2011, the Rocche stands out for its total sense of class.

Fratelli Brovia

Fratelli Brovia

Brovia are a traditional Barolo producer, in the winemaking sense not in the vineyard sense. That is to say yields are low but the fermentations are natural and happen in cement tanks before ageing in large old oak casks for 3 years. The estate is situated in Castiglione Falleto between Azelia and Scavino, their vineyards are spread over the Castiglione and Serralunga communes. The wines are pure, characterful and gripping but in a very gentle and moreish style, they have great intensity and charm whilst also expressing individuality and reflect the distinct differences between their great terroirs.
