Vietti, Barolo Rocche di Castiglione, 2020
Vietti is one of the defining producers of Barolo, known for single-vineyard wines from some of the appellation’s most historic crus. Rocche di Castiglione, located in Castiglione Falletto, is widely regarded as one of Barolo’s great sites, producing wines that combine aromatic lift with structure and depth. Positioned at the center of Barolo, the vineyard benefits from a mix of soil types that contribute both elegance and concentration.
The 2020 vintage is intensely aromatic and layered, offering notes of red currant, cherry, dried rose, blood orange, chalk, and spice alongside subtle ferrous and earthy tones. The palate is focused and tightly structured, with vibrant acidity, firm chalky tannins, and a long, mineral-driven finish that continues to unfold in the glass. Powerful yet refined, this is a classic Rocche di Castiglione built for long aging.
Varietal: Nebbiolo
Appellation: Barolo, Piedmont, Italy
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: Red. Structured, mineral-driven, and age-worthy
