Brovia Barolo Rocche di Castiglione 2022

Brovia's Rocche di Castiglione is everything this storied cru promises. Rose petal, sweet red cherry, chalk and a lift of white pepper and mint, the vineyard's character comes through with uncommon clarity and precision. The texture is silky, the structure fine-grained, and the whole thing hangs together with an effortless poise that belies the vintage's erratic nature. In a year that humbled many producers, this is a standout, arguably one of 2022's finest Barolos.
