Medium Ruby with complex aromas of floral, dark berry fruits, herbs and oak notes. On the palate raspberry and ripe cherry, savory with oak spice, a fresh earthiness and tightly wrapped spices. Tannins are very firm and needs at least 5 more years to start showing some finesse. Ling finish ending with fruit, herb and earthy mineral. Let this one sit for a while. A little pricy. Tasting Sample!

Vietti's 2014 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is shaping up to be a modern-day classic. Piercing, intense and austere in the best sense of the word, the Rocche is a wine of laser-like focus that will leave Barolo lovers weak in the knees. Candied cherry, pomegranate, kirsch, rose petal and violet overtones give the 2014 its inner sweetness and captivating perfume. In a word: stunning. Don't miss it. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2018)

2011 Vietti rocche with Luca dropping knowledge with the Barolo cru map! A wine of profound complexity and beauty.

Yes, it's as good as everyone has been saying. Classic, layered bouquet of roses, strawberry, cherry, dusty spice, minerals and savory herbs. It displayed pure, silky textures with red fruits, fine tannin and mineral crunch. Inner floral tones and dried fruits linger long on the fresh yet structured finish, but the best is still a decade or two down the road. Bravo @vietti_vino #Barolo

Needed quite a bit of time to decant, but well worth it. 15 years young.
