The Wine
Castiglione is Vietti's entry point into Barolo, which still means serious Nebbiolo from one of the Langhe's most trusted names. Bring something that can stand up to it: braised short rib, lamb shoulder, or a plate of aged Parmigiano to let the tannin find its footing before the main course arrives.
Worth Knowing
The cellar sits at the top of the village of Castiglione Falletto. Alfredo Currado bottled Rocche di Castiglione on its own from 1961, one of the first single vineyard Barolos ever made.

What the critics said
James Suckling
Wine Advocate
Vinous
James Suckling94 pts
“Racy and focused. I like the aromas of lavender, violet and white roses alongside strawberry, cranberry and stone. Medium body, with firm and fine tannins that are long and succulent.”
Wine Advocate, Monica Larner93 pts
“A voluptuous approach with dark fruit, cola, wild berry coulis and smoky tar. The wine wears a hot vintage well, with accessible and powdery tannins.”
Vinous, Antonio Galloni93 pts
“Fragrant, polished and vibrant right out of the gate, with beautifully lifted notes of crushed red berry fruit, rose petal, mint, white pepper and orange peel.”
