Vietti's Barolo Rocche di Castiglione 2020 is a wine that embodies the excellence of one of the most historic and prestigious crus of Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Barolo area. Born from Nebbiolo vines planted between 1950 and 1968 on steep terraces with southern exposure, this intense ruby red with garnet reflections offers a complex bouquet of dried rose petals, ripe cherry, hay, chamomile and a mineral breath. Aged for 30 months in oak barrels, it presents itself to the palate as fresh, balanced and silky, with important but well-integrated tannins and a long and persistent finish. A Barolo of extraordinary finesse and power, perfect for aging that will enhance its extraordinary complexity.
