Vietti - Rocche di Castiglione - Barolo DOCG - 2016 - 750ml - Vietti

Vietti is a renowned producer of Barolo DOCG wines, and their Rocche di Castiglione is a standout example of the style. The winery has a long history, dating back to the 19th century, and has been owned by the Vietti family since the early 20th century. Today, the winery is run by Luca Currado, who has continued the family's tradition of producing high-quality wines that showcase the unique terroir of the Langhe region. The Rocche di Castiglione vineyard is located in the Castiglione Falletto commune, which is known for producing some of the most elegant and refined Barolo wines. The vineyard is situated at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level, and the soil is a mix of clay and limestone, which gives the wine its characteristic minerality and complexity. The wine is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, which are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit is used. The grapes are then fermented in stainless steel tanks for around 4 weeks, before being aged in oak barrels for 30 months. The result is a wine that is rich and full-bodied, with aromas of dark fruit, leather, and tobacco, and a long, complex finish. Overall, Vietti's Rocche di Castiglione is a classic example of Barolo DOCG, and is sure to impress even the most discerning wine connoisseur.
