Vietti – Barolo Rocche di Castiglione – 2011

We are talking about the end of the 1800s, when Carlo Vietti founded the company in the small town of Castiglione Falletto, immediately realizing the great potential that this area could have since 1919, his son Mario began producing the first wines. However, the history of the winery was marked by the great oenologist Alfredo Currado, the first ever to vinify the individual vineyards individually and in 1961 the Barolo “Rocche di Castiglione” was released on the market.
Today the company is one of the most important in the entire Barolo area, in fact since 2016 it was bought by the American Krause Holdings, thus allowing the family to expand their heritage while continuing to produce wines of great territoriality and value.
Rocche di Castiglione, cru in the homonymous municipality of Castiglione Falletto, considered by far one of the most prestigious mentions of the whole denomination thanks to its very white soils and rare finesse, where its wines are united by a style made up of perfumes and refined elegance. Here the company owns vineyards with plants that are about 60 years old and produces a super traditional Barolo, always elegant, with strong but well-balanced tannins, expressive and magnificent. 2011, a vintage that we can define as fantastic for its “immediate” readiness and pleasantness, if you don’t have the patience to wait a long time to drink your Barolo this is the vintage for you!
