There is a brightness and freshness that underlines it from start to finish, and the scents of cherry blossom and raspberry are captivating. The acid is brisk and cleansing, and generous fruit becomes quite dense but never weighty, while stony minerals counter the rhubarb compote core. Powdery layers of tannins cling steadfastly but with a sense of ease and succulence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - The Brovia 2022 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione has a clear edge over the Villero in that it is more immediately expressive, revealing the delicate chalky minerality that distinguishes this celebrated MGA. Aromas of wild currant, rose petal and blue flower emerge with precision, but it is the wine's finely etched mineral character that ultimately steals the show. The palate is lean, and although the 15% alcohol is higher than one would hope, the wine's lighter frame makes for a more immediate drinking style. Fermentation begins in cement before the wine is transferred to 40-hectoliter French and Slavonian oak casks for aging. Planted on sandy soils at 300 to 350 meters above sea level with southeastern exposures, the 1.6-hectare Rocche di Castiglione vineyard captures the aromatic finesse and refined structure that make this site one of the appellation's benchmarks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95 Vinous - The 2022 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is a total stunner. A Barolo of exquisite finesse, the 2022 shows why this site is so highly regarded. Silky, aromatic and wonderfully deep, this is seriously impressive. All the vineyard signatures are beautifully delineated in the glass. Rose petal, sweet red berry fruit, chalk, mint and white pepper come alive. What a total delight. The Brovia Rocche is without question one of the wines of the vintage, which is one of the most erratic in recent memory.
