Estate Bottled Barolo Nebbiolo 2013
Consumed with our meal featuring rack of lamb, this immediately struck me as a somewhat modern Barolo with the oak playing a slightly more predominate role than a lot of the Barolo I’m used to drinking. It was fairly austere on this night so judging it was a bit of a challenge. But there were red and dark fruits, slightly more on the ripe side of things; new leather; tobacco; a hint of herbs and anise. A nice wine to be honest but it was outclassed by the Brovia that was opened after. — 6 years ago

Rocche di Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo 2013
(Tasted at La Festa del Barolo, Del Posto NY)
In 2013 Brovia's "Rocche di Castiglione" presents itself as a pretty huge and hulking wine. But nevertheless it has this typical perfumed nose with tons of red flowers and small red berries. In the palate it showed a rather wild character for a "Rocche", with the urge to have more time to bring the massive fruit, tannins and acidity in a perfect balance. I can't wait to see this wine age. — 6 years ago

Surprisingly approachable given its youth. Beautiful young Barolo. — 7 years ago

Otin Fiorin Piè Rupestris-Nebioli Barolo Nebbiolo 2008
There's a reason Capellano is so hard to find. This wine devastated a Brovia Roche, which was pretty awesome as well. Incredible intensity and depth — 8 years ago

Dolcetto d'Alba 2010
Served lightly chilled with salumi and grilled flatbread. Love this wine more every time I drink it. Very good. Fruity with enough tannin and acid to work perfectly with antipasti. Like as much as B. Mascarello and Brovia Dolcettos. Thanks @bevetroppo and Jan D'Amore. — 11 years ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2014
Very impressive for the vintage. Drinking well now. Proof (along w B. Mascarello) that good producers who weren’t hit by hail made good wines. Sadly Cavallotto was wiped out, and Brovia nearly so. — 6 years ago

Rocche Barolo Nebbiolo 2004
Good grief! Even in its youth this was remarkably balanced with woodsy fruit for forest and a resinous fragrance. Camphorous Barolo with plenty of flex and play. — 9 years ago

I don’t hide the fact that I’m a massive fan of Brovia and their Freisa which they produce in a dry, still style is among my favorite values in all of Piedmont. The grapes for this wine come from the Villero cru and are aged exclusively in stainless steel. Production is extremely minuscule with under 1000 bottles made per year however, tracking some down is well worth the effort. The 2017 version has aromas of dark blackberries, roses, and tar while the palate is packed with strawberries, mulberries, blueberries and dried herbs. Impressive structure with mouth-drying tannins and snappy acidity leading to a long, tongue-smacking finish. Capable of aging? Yes, and probably would be an interesting one to follow over the next five to ten years. That being said, these are really meant to be consumed on the younger side while we wait for the Barolo’s to mature 😉. This bottle was paired with the “kamikaze” lasagna we got last night from Au Courant which, as it happens, was also my source for this bottle. — 4 years ago
