Vietti Barolo Rocche di Castiglione 2019 DOCG 0.75l

Vietti Barolo Rocche di Castiglione 2019 DOCG 0.75l is a wine that expresses the Langhe through an iconic cru in the heart of Castiglione Falletto, where the scorching slopes, marl and limestone soils, and a dry microclimate combine to give the Nebbiolo a distinctive yet elegant vertical structure. The Vietti winery, one of the historic estates of the Langhe, stands out for its consistent commitment to quality and a deep connection to the terroir. This family-run winery has built its identity by enhancing both its estate-owned vineyards and a meticulous approach to winemaking, respecting the vocation of Nebbiolo without sacrificing character and precision. The production philosophy is based on meticulous vineyard work, targeted harvesting, and a cellar that emphasizes controlled maceration and balanced aging in wood of varying capacities: neutral oak, large barrels, all contained within a philosophy of aromatic integration rather than over-extraction, to offer complexity without sacrificing clarity. Rocche di Castiglione stands out for its ability to express the cru with a fullness that combines power and elegance: notes of rose, black cherry, ripe plum, accents of graphite, black pepper, and balsamic nuances intertwine with a minerality reminiscent of its terroir. On the palate, a dense tannic texture is evident, yet smoothed by a punch of acidity that supports a long, persistent, and enduring finish, capable of patiently evolving. In the Vietti range, this Barolo represents a benchmark for those seeking depth of terroir and expressive maturity; it is a wine that presents itself not only as the cornerstone of a tasting, but as an ambassador for a production method that prioritizes balance, finesse, and consistency. The iconic connection between product and terroir finds its highest expression here, offering consumers a complete and informed sensory experience, in line with the STELT positioning.
