Vietti Rocche di Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo 2011

Regarding the Rocche, The Vietto family states : 'The 2011 Vintage marks the 50th Anniversary of producing a single-vineyard bottling of Barolo from the prestigious Rocche di Castiglione cru. Our forefather, Alfredo Currado produced the first vineyard-designated wine in Barolo half a century ago with the 1961 vintage. It was a risky gamble, but to day single-vineyard wines from our region continue to proliferate. Alfredo's foresight substantially changed how winemakers interpret the special terroir of their vineyards.' The wine is ruby red in color. Complex and full-bodied with intense aromas of dried roses, licorice, spice and truffles. Elegant with strong, yet balanced and silky tannins; long and persistent finish.
