The 2018 Roccheviberti Barolo "Rocche di Castiglione" is a classic Nebbiolo crafted from the revered Rocche di Castiglione cru, a vineyard known for its steep, southeast-facing slopes and calcareous soils. These unique conditions lend the wine its remarkable elegance, aromatic intensity, and potential for aging. The grapes are carefully handpicked, followed by a traditional fermentation and a long maceration period to extract maximum flavor and structure. The wine is then aged for 24 months in large Slavonian oak casks, allowing it to develop its complexity and finesse. The 2018 vintage offers an excellent balance between power and elegance, with the ability to age gracefully for 15-20 years. This Barolo pairs wonderfully with rich pasta dishes, roasted meats, and truffle-infused cuisine.
