Roccheviberti barolo roche Di castigliogne 2020
Description
The 2020 Roccheviberti Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is a stellar example of a traditional Barolo, produced by the Roccheviberti family, who have been tending their vines in Castiglione Falletto since 1946. Claudio Viberti, a third-generation vigneron, has elevated the winery to new heights, emphasizing organic farming and meticulous winemaking practices.
Vineyard and Winemaking:
The Rocche di Castiglione vineyard is one of the most prestigious crus in the Barolo region, renowned for its ideal terroir. The vineyard's soil composition of clay and limestone, along with its optimal exposure, contributes to the complexity and depth of the wines. The 2020 vintage benefits from these prime conditions, offering a profound expression of Nebbiolo.
The winemaking process involves a traditional approach with modern precision. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks with natural yeasts. The wine is then aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for about 30 months, allowing the tannins to soften and the flavors to integrate harmoniously.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: The wine presents a bright garnet-red color.
- Aroma: It offers a complex bouquet of red cherries, rose petals, and spices, with underlying notes of earth and licorice.
- Palate: On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm yet refined tannins. Flavors of dark cherry and plum are complemented by hints of truffle and tobacco. The balanced acidity provides a fresh and lingering finish.
- Finish: The wine’s structured elegance ensures a long aging potential, making it a worthy addition to any cellar.
