    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    There is a welcome breadth and generosity of fruit, providing body to cover the tight and crispy tannins. Lifting floral notes strike first, followed by a refreshing sapidity and bitter herb freshness. The fruit is a little darker than usual, brambles mixing with loganberries as well as a touch of mint and cassis leaf. The wine focuses and refines even more with air and finishes with an unerring clarity and tension. A steep, south-east facing Castiglione vineyard with a touch of sand in the clay soils giving fresh, fragrant, elegant wines. Aged in large used oak casks for two years.

    Critic Reviews

    Antonio Galloni,
    Vinous
    The 2017 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is delicate and perfumed from the outset. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, cedar, mint and licorice all open in the glass. The 2017 is a classic Rocche - gracious, medium in body and super-finessed. The ripeness of the year comes through in the wine's flavor profile, but all the elements are so well balanced. The only thing missing is a bit of depth, and that leaves the finish feeling just a bit dry.
