BAROLO D.O.C.G.

Rocche di Castiglione

MUNICIPALITY: Castiglione Falletto;

Giving voice to differences: this is our recent motto. The need to meticulously investigate the terroir and narrate a new vineyard is an absolute source of pride.

In this MGA, the vines have a violent slope and seem to cling to the earth by a miracle, dominating the bottom of the hill that remains firmly in the hands of the forest. The exposure is cool, south-eastern, and the soils are lean and particularly loose, with the mother rock often surfacing. It is an identity wine, and is perfectly in tune with the territory that generates it. In the glass we find a sharp, vertical liquid. It is a Barolo that makes expressive essentiality its motto. The bouquet opens on sensations of wild rose and pomegranate, hints of tamarind and strongly citrus notes. The palate is tight and succulent, with aromatic hints of watermelon. It is a refined and classic wine, designed around the idea of balanced austerity.

"It was 1987 when I arrived at the winery and although young, I had the good fortune to work alongside Marcello Ceretto in the management of 11 hectares of Nebbiolo that were already in production at that time. It was an enlightening experience. In 1991 I was called upon to put into practice the teachings I had received and was responsible for planting 4147 square metres of vineyard in the Rocche di Castiglione. To see today the birth of a label that celebrates its importance is exciting'.
