The Vietti Barolo DOCG Rocche di Castiglione 2019 is a wine that embodies the essence of Piedmontese winemaking tradition, thanks to a masterful combination of art, terroir, and variety. Produced in the historic Barolo area of the Langhe, this wine is the pure expression of Nebbiolo, a variety that tells stories of well-tended vineyards and soils rich in history. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, it presents itself in a deep ruby red hue, almost sparkling, evoking the passage of time.
Upon opening, the bouquet offers a sensory journey that unfolds slowly, articulated by notes of withered roses and ripe cherries, followed by earthy undertones reminiscent of the characteristic Piedmontese underbrush. The palate is wide and enveloping, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and complexity to the sip. The finish is long and persistent, leaving behind a slight trail of spices and dark chocolate.
Perfect for red meat dishes such as Barolo braised beef or roasted lamb, this wine expresses itself best when served at a temperature of about 18-20°C, accompanied by good aeration. The longevity of this Barolo is legendary: allow it to rest in the cellar for several years, and you will notice how its character evolves, revealing new facets and an increasing depth. A wine for celebratory occasions, capable of evoking stories and traditions, making each sip a memorable experience.
