Barolo Rocche di Castiglione

Full

Cork

The Monchiero family had the foresight in the 1970s to invest in the precipitous, southeast-facing Rocche di Castiglione sub-district. The two plots total less than a hectare, but they consider this their most important wine. The 2022 demonstrates the site’s attractive aromatic temperament. Tempting scents of heather, tarragon, orange zest and candied raspberry swirl from the glass. Slim in build, it is a touch angular in structure. Stony tannins and cool acidity accentuate one another. While this could do with more depth, it feels genuine and pure.
