2017 Vietti 'Rocche di Castiglione' Barolo

Winemaker Notes: Ruby-red color. Complex and elegant nose. Notes of mandarin and ripe red fruit, rose petals with hints of chamomile. On the palate it is fresh, well- balanced, silky, mouth-filling and rounded. Big well-integrated tannins. Long and persistent finish. Best decanted a few hours before serving.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "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. Drinking window: 2027 - 2042."
