Vietti Barolo Castiglione DOCG (2020)

The Rocche di Castiglione is made up of 100% Nebbiolo from the single vineyard, Rocche, located within Castiglione Falletto. The vines were planted in spurts in 1940, 1950, and 1968 upon clay-limestone soils with southwestern exposure. The grapes are harvested and gently crushed, then are fermented for approximately 4 weeks in stainless steel with skin contact, providing pre and post fermentation maceration. Malolactic fermentation occurs in oak and the wine is aged for around 30 months in Slovenian oak casks.
