Paolo Scavino Rocche di Castiglione, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2020
Rocche di Castiglione is probably the most prestigious cru of Castiglione Falletto. A narrow piece of land which develops in length starting just above the historical center of Castiglione Falletto village. This cru is on a steep slope where the soil is quite poor and draining. One of the first vineyard of our property to bud in the spring.
"A deep red hue, the 2020 Barolo Rocche Di Castiglione is very expressive and detailed on the nose with notes of pure cherry liqueur, fresh rosemary, lifted spice, blood orange, and rocky earth. Energetic and balanced, it reveals lovely tension on the palate, with fine tannins, an even, mouthwatering spine of acidity, and a long finish, with notes of apricot lasting on the back palate. This beautiful wine is only going to improve over the coming two decades." JEB DUNNUCK 97
