About this wine
A single-vineyard Barolo DOCG from the celebrated Rocche di Castiglione cru, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo. The wine undergoes 38 months of total aging, including 18 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, developing elegance and structural complexity that reflect the Langhiano-soil terroir of Castiglione Falletto.
A powerful, structured red that rewards patience — decant at least an hour before serving.
Sommelier's Note
"One of the two crus that define this estate — the Rocche di Castiglione bottling shows firmer tannins and darker fruit than its Moriondino sibling."
Food Pairings
Exceptional with roasted red meats, game dishes, truffle-infused risotto, and aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano.
When to drink it
Formal dinners, milestone celebrations, or the centerpiece of a serious tasting.
