Grape varietal & region: 100% Nebbiolo. The fruit for this wine comes from a vineyard in Castelletto, Piedmont, Italy. The vineyard has clayey-limestone soils and a southwest and west exposure, in a zone particularly well-suited to growing Nebbiolo grapes for Barolo.
Taste profile: This wine Barolo Rocche di Castelletto has an elegant nose with complex notes of raspberry, liquorice and spices. Full-bodied and dry on the palate with sweet tannins and an assertive acidity. Lasting impression of red cherry and raspberry flavours that mingle with liquorice, tobacco, leather and chocolate nuances.
Winemaking process: Specialised vineyard workers harvest the fruit manually twice with particular attention given to the grape sorting. Fermentation lasts 15 days in small stainless steel tanks with frequent pumping over for colour extraction. Maceration continues after fermentation for 40–45 days. The wine rests in 2,000–2,500–5,000 litre Slavonian oak barrels, then is transferred to stainless steel tanks again. After 4 years from the harvest, the wine is released to the market.
Drink now or keep until 2034.
