Vietti Barolo Rocche di Castiglione 2015 1.5L
The Winery
Vietti
Tracing its roots back to the 19th Century, the Vietti estate embodies all that is Piedmont. In 1919 Patriarch Mario Vietti made the winery’s first wines and by 1952 they had grown into one of the top-level producers in Piedmont as one of the first producers to export their Italian wines to the United States. They are particularly known for the range of single-vineyard Barolo, Barbera, and the association with “rediscovering” the Arneis grape variety, so much that Alfredo Currado, who married into the Vietti family, is considered the “Father of Arneis.” With 35 acres and growing, Vietti expects to not only increase production but have even more control over their vineyards to further excel in the 21st Century.
Summary
The Vietti Barolo Rocche di Castiglione 2015 is a distinguished wine from the renowned Rocche di Castiglione vineyard in Piedmont, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo. This expression showcases a complex nose with notes of rose, cedar, and earthy elements complemented by hints of fine spices and mountain herbs. The palate is rich and layered, featuring flavors of cherry, raspberry, and plum, all supported by firm tannins and a vibrant minerality. Its elegant structure and captivating balance indicate a significant aging potential, promising further evolution in the bottle. The wine underwent 30-32 months of aging in a combination of large Slavonian casks and French oak, resulting in a limited production of just 305 cases.
