The 2019 vintage delivers clarity, tension, and classical definition, marking it as a reference point for traditional Barolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyard and Winemaking\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRocche di Castiglione is renowned for its limestone-rich soils and dramatic slopes, producing Nebbiolo of great aromatic lift and firm structure. Roagna farms the site organically, with very low yields from mature vines. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in large wooden vats, followed by extended maceration for gentle yet thorough extraction. The wine is then aged for around five years in large neutral Slavonian oak botti, with no fining or filtration, allowing the vineyard’s identity to emerge with precision and transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe nose opens with lifted aromas of sour cherry, wild strawberry, dried rose, and orange peel, layered with notes of anise, crushed stone, and subtle earth. The palate is taut and finely etched, showing red fruit purity framed by firm, chalky tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long, saline, and resonant, driven by mineral tension and classical restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle and Character\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLinear, poised, and uncompromisingly traditional, the 2019 Rocche di Castiglione is a wine of patience and pedigree.
