    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Fratelli Brovia, Barolo, Rocche di Castiglione, 2012

    Tight knit and fine, less immediate or bold than Villero but this is all about charm. Wonderful for its clarity, focus and freshness. Stylish, fine red berry and cherry fruit with touches of kirsch. Long and effortless A south east facing Castiglione vineyard with a touch of sand in the clay soils giving fresh, fragrant, elegant wines.

    The 2017 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is delicate and perfumed from the outset. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, cedar, mint and licorice all open in the glass. The 2017 is a classic Rocche - gracious, medium in body and super-finessed. The ripeness of the year comes through in the wine's flavor profile, but all the elements are so well balanced. The only thing missing is a bit of depth, and that leaves the finish feeling just a bit dry.
