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.

The 2017 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione shows all the signatures of this site, all turned up to the maximum. I am not sure I have ever tasted a Vietti Castiglione with this much heft. Super-ripe dark red fruit, rose petal, mocha, dried herbs and menthol all build in an ample, resonant Barolo. Readers should be prepared to cellar the 2017 for the next handful of years, perhaps longer. A whole range of floral and savory notes punctuates the explosive finish.

Monica Larner

Vietti's mighty 2017 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is extremely polished and sharp, showing the smallest details with microscope-like precision in this release of 3,512 bottles. Tart cherry fruit segues to spice, tarry smoke, licorice and a chiseled sense of minerality that adds ample volume and considerable focus. The wine displays alternating moments of dryness, with layers of cherry sweetness, and all this movement adds to the fluid, ever-changing nature of the bouquet. Vintage after vintage, this wine continues to push the boundaries for Barolo made in Castiglione Falletto.
