Barolo Rocche di Castiglione 2022

The Barolo DOCG 'Rocche di Castiglione' by the historic Brovia estate (Castiglione Falletto) represents one of the most ethereal, perfumed, and aristocratically refined single-vineyard expressions in all of Piedmont. Sourced from a breathtaking 1.5-hectare parcel within the legendary 'Rocche di Castiglione' cru—dramatically perched on steep sandy-marl cliffs overlooking Monforte d'Alba, planted in 1966—this terroir imparts soaring floral elegance, pristine red-berry aromatics, and a weightless mineral drive to pure Nebbiolo.

Cellar practices strictly honor Brovia's low-intervention traditional heritage: natural spontaneous fermentation driven by native yeasts in concrete vats, accompanied by extended submerged-cap macerations lasting 21 to 28 days. The wine undergoes a meticulous maturation of approximately 24 months in large 30 hl Slavonian and French oak casks, followed by extensive bottle refinement without fining or filtration. Brovia's Rocche di Castiglione emerges as a masterpiece of supreme finesse and vertical clarity—marrying silky, fine-grained tannins with vibrant limestone freshness and multi-decadal longevity.
