    Alfredo Currado made history in 1961. Together with Prunotto's Bussia, Vietti released the first single-vineyard Barolo of the modern era – rocche di Castiglione. Since then, this vineyard has been inextricably linked with the name Vietti. Rocche is located in Castiglione Falletto directly opposite the winery, on the most exposed ridge in the municipality: soils from both geological eras – tortonian and Serravalian – in rare stratification on top of each other, exposed to the south to south-west, 250 to 320 metres. A transitional location between the elegance of the western communes and the vigour of the Serralunga style. The result is a Barolo with an aristocratic bearing – superbly structured without ever boasting about it. Maceration for 20 days, malolactic fermentation in used barriques, 24 months in large wooden barrels. In 2022, Vietti harvested earlier than usual – the Rocche holds heat differently than the lower-lying vineyards and required different decisions.

    Intense ruby red colour. Cherry, violet, garnet, cedar wood, a hint of liquorice and dried herbs on the nose – aristocratic, clear. Firm and precise at the same time on the palate, with a structure that slowly opens up to reveal a final of extraordinary length. The MGA that Vietti invented – and which is still its clearest expression. SUPERIORE.DE

    "A perfumed wine full of lush fruit, black cherries and blood oranges, floral and a bit confected. On the palate, it shines with concentration, showing crisp acidity and firm, velvety tannins that are tight and chewy. Balanced finish." James Suckling

    "The 2022 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione shows why this site is so highly regarded. Pliant and medium-bodied, the 2022 is a sensual beauty. Sweet red cherry fruit, white pepper, kirsch, mint and rose petal take shape in the glass. The 2022 doesn’t quite have all the inner perfume, sweetness and generosity of the very best years, but it comes a lot closer than I would have ever expected in this vintage, especially in a site planted mostly on sand. The long, sustained finish is exceptionally beautiful." Vinous
