Vietti Barolo Rocche de Castiglione Castiglione Falletto DOCG 2017

The 2017 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione shows all the signatures of this site, all turned up to the maximum. I am not sure I have ever tasted a Vietti Castiglione with this much heft. Super-ripe dark red fruit, rose petals, mocha, dried herbs, and menthol all build in an ample, resonant Barolo. Readers should be prepared to cellar the 2017 for the next handful of years, perhaps longer. A whole range of floral and savoury notes punctuates the explosive finish.
