9.1

Delightful nose of cherry, raspberry, strawberry complemented by tobacco, touch of balsamic and hint of truffle. The fruits feel lightly candied on the juicy palate. Medium body, and the tannins command attention.

If the Castiglione bottling is the king, this would be the queen: lively, graceful, yet authoritative. — 4 years ago

Delicious. I preferred the freshness & tension upon opening but open for business towards the end. Masculine wine but still charming. Classic Castiglione. — 6 years ago

Truffle, earth and mushrooms notes went hand in hand with truffle pâté. Developing and unlikely to improve with further aging ... drink now — 7 years ago

Stunning wine, still very primary but some leather and earth tones emerging. Hold for a while longer or enjoy now for the beautiful black cherries and rose petals — 7 years ago

Super pretty Langhe Nebbiolo. All fruit is from Castiglione Falletto in Barolo but they don't age it as long and the winemaking is a bit different than DOCG guidelines call for. Fermentation in stainless and elevage in the traditional neutral Slavonian oak botti. Pours a pale ruby-garnet hue. Nose of slightly dried sour cherry, potpourri and rose + violet floral tones, new asphalt, slightly volatile balsamic character, and a slight fennel-spiced cured meat note. Palate confirms the nose with the fruit showing a bit more prominently on the palate. Acid is screaming and tannin is firm with moderate (+) intensity yet already decently fine grained and caressing, this could honesty probably do well from a couple more years in bottle. Medium (-) body but still has some layered texture to it. Couldn't go wrong with this and a hearty baked pasta dish. Very tasty and a great value for Piedmont Nebbiolo of decent quality. — 8 years ago

First wine from the Roscioli wine club. Excellent. Paired it with sausage and tortellini. Just enough acidity to break through the richness of the sausage. A Calabrian wine that is on point. — 4 years ago

From tannico. A dry cortesi that is on the edge of being exceptional. Pair with pasta in cream sauce or sweet Italian cheese — 6 years ago

Tobacco, leather, dark dark cherry, blueberry, wild mushroom on the nose. Medium/strong tannins. Excellent smooth finish. Bright cherry (typical Italian), Coca-Cola, dark chocolate on the palate. Barolo is Barolo. It rarely disappoints and this certainly is a fine example. — 8 years ago

Soft and approachable modern Barolo. Deep red cherry and plum with a hint of spice and liquorice. Nicely balanced and easy to drink. Lovely wine but I did prefer the 2011. — 8 years ago

Fresh, juicy, uncomplicated Barbera from 15-20 years old vines in Castiglione Falletto and La Morra. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in French oak for 16 months. Bright ruby color. Red fruit and earthy notes. Medium-bodied, tart red fruit (sour cherry, strawberry) on the palate. Light tannin, racy acidity. — 4 years ago

Fenocchio's Barolo Villero is quite sensual and inviting in 2015, which is probably a reflection of the year, as wines from this Castiglione Falletto site tend to be quite reticent, especially when young. Spice, menthol, licorice, dried flowers and pine grow with time in the glass. The Villero is another impressive, showy wine in this lineup. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2019) — 6 years ago

Great wine. Long finish and a great nose. Classic Barolo. Need to decant at least one hour before drinking to allow this wine to open up. Very nice — 7 years ago

Magic. And while slightly over the hill, still outstanding, with lots of aromas to offer. — 7 years ago

(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. — 7 years ago
