Barolo DOCG Rocche di Castiglione 2020 Brovia

What type of wine is it?

Barolo Rocche di Castiglione Brovia is a still red wine made from Nebbiolo. It originates from a cru that precisely embodies the character of its territory, blending structure and lively tension with a defined profile. The winemaking follows a traditional approach, and aging in large casks helps the wine reach a clear expression, also intended for evolution in the bottle.

Where does it come from?

It comes from the Rocche di Castiglione cru, from vineyards over fifty years old. Vine care is meticulous and quality-driven, aiming to offer a Barolo true to its origins. Central to the process are respect for tradition and the identity of the terroir, reflected in a personal and measured character.

How is it produced?

Harvesting is manual and the winemaking process follows a traditional style. Maturation takes place over 24 to 36 months in large French and Slavonian oak casks, a choice that enhances wood integration and refines the mouthfeel. The wine is not filtered, preserving its expression and readiness for aging.

Tasting notes

The aromatic profile is refined and complex, with notes of ripe red fruits, rose petals, delicate spices, and a mineral accent that supports freshness. On the palate, it offers a full and juicy sensation, with fine yet persistent tannins and a mineral energy that lengthens the finish. The closure is long and harmonious, in line with its essential and precise style.

Pairings

At the table, it pairs well with red meats, roast capon, and aged cheeses. Its tannic structure and savory drive complement flavorful dishes and substantial cooking techniques, while its aromatic definition keeps everything balanced and clean. It’s a natural pairing for those seeking intensity without losing precision.

When to serve it

It is suitable for occasions where a Barolo with a long progression and well-ordered tannic texture is desired. Its profile, built on large cask aging and extended maturation, makes it worth waiting for, as it develops consistently over time. On opening, a bit of oxygenation helps to open up its aromas and make the palate smoother.
