Barolo Rocche di Castiglione

Full

Cork

Up until 2018, Ceretto’s small (0.41-hectare) slice of Rocche di Castiglione was blended into the estate’s classic Barolo. In 2022, this single-MGA bottling soars above its stablemates. While not necessarily explosive, its aromas are mesmerizing: a bouquet of rose, iris and cherry blossom emerges from iron-rich earth. The vibrant, midweight palate is saturated with pristine raspberry, effortlessly lifted by citrussy acidity. Suede-like tannins are graceful but direct, leading to a stony, mineral bite and minty finish. It might not be the densest Barolo, but it is undeniably lovely. In 2024, Ceretto’s rental contract ended for this site, so its legacy will be short-lived.
