The grapes to produce the Vietti, Barolo, Rocche di Castiglione are grown in one of the historic vineyards of the Barolo area, Rocche in Castiglione Falletto. The wine has a medium-intense ruby red colour and a complex and elegant nose with notes of ripe red fruit (cherry, red berries) floral (rose petals with a hint of chamomile) and mineral nuances. It has a good intensity on the palate, fresh, well- balanced, silky, mouth-filling and rounded. The tannins are well-integrated. It has a long and persistent finish with good freshness.

Antonio Galloni

The 2015 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is incredibly inviting from the very first taste. Silky and aromatic, the Rocche shows plenty of the classiness that is such a signature of this Castiglione Falletto site. As with all of these 2015s, readers will have to be patient. The 2015 gains striking volume and resonance with time in the glass, but a few years in bottle are an absolute must for the wine to show at its very best.

Monica Larner

Along with the Ravera, the 2015 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione has a very fresh feeling (they are both grown with less direct sunlight). Indeed, there are many similarities between these two prestigious Barolos from Vietti, but the differences start with the vinification methods. While the Ravera sees malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, the Rocche di Castiglione completes that phase in botte. To continue the comparison, these two wines are certainly more closed than the other Barolo crus from this producer, the Lazzarito and the Brunate, which blossom and open more quickly. Even though it is a bit shy, the defining characteristics of herbaceous rosemary and balsamic notes show up well in this vintage of the Rocche di Castiglione, a vineyard site that prizes elegance above all else.
