A release of about 5,000 bottles, the Brovia Barolo Rocche di Castiglione 2017 offers a very elegant take on a wild and hot vintage that was not always easy to tame. The wine's aromatic profile can be described as ripe for sure because you get a generous dose of fragolino di bosco (wild strawberry), peach and orange blossom. Like the Villero, that ripeness is mitigated by the pretty mineral note that frames the bouquet. That dusty crushed limestone is more prominent in the case of the Rocche di Castiglione. However, the mouthfeel is a touch more compact and slenderer in the case of this wine. The tannins are silky and fine, but it would be nice to come back to this bottle in five years or more when the wine has had the chance to flesh out further. 93/100 (06.2021) - Wine Advocate
