Description
From the Oddero family’s 50+ year-old parcel in Rocche di Castiglione — one of Barolo’s most celebrated MGA sites in Castiglione Falletto. Aged 30 months in large Slavonian and Austrian oak, the 2019 delivers the elegance the site is known for: wild cherry, aniseed, blood orange and iron ore with silky tannins and a long, mineral finish. 2019 is a brilliant Barolo vintage.
96 points, Vinous “The 2019 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione offers a striking combination of Rocche sweetness and the natural tension of the year. Hard candy, lavender, rose petal, mint, orange peel and licorice fill out the mid-palate nicely. Medium in body and nervy, the Rocche is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine.”
