"Vietti's 2011 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is pliant, expressive and very pretty. Sweet floral notes meld into expressive red stone fruits in a supple, silky Barolo endowed with exquisite beauty and polish. The 2011 is all about finesse. Even at this early stage, the Rocche is compelling. 95/100. Vinous, Antonio Galloni.

Technique

Viticulture

The grapes are selected from 47 year old vines in the Rocche di Castiglione vineyard, cultivated at 4,600 plants per hectare and with a yield of 29 hl/ha.

Oenology

The grapes are lightly crushed and fermented in stainless steel for 23 days at 30-32°C. Daily pump-overs using the old submerged cap system. After 4 weeks of malolactic fermentation in barrels, the wine is aged in Slavonia oak barrels for 31 months. Bottled without filtration in July 2014.
