Castiglione Falletto

Parusso Barolo DOCG Nebbiolo 2012

Soft and approachable modern Barolo. Deep red cherry and plum with a hint of spice and liquorice. Nicely balanced and easy to drink. Lovely wine but I did prefer the 2011. — 8 years ago

Castiglione Falletto

Barbera d'Alba 2012

Blackberry, raspberry, currant, plum, spice, loamy earth, oak and hints of dried herbs. Great structure and quite tannic. — 9 years ago

Oddero

Rocche dei Rivera di Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo

Despite being 18 years old it needed hours and hours of decanting and towards the end of the night it finally started coming around. Want to have it again in a few years with hours of decanting to see how it's matured. — 9 years ago

Took a while to open up...ok, quite a while. But when it did... wow!!! Big wine, nicely balanced with coffee, dark fruits and silky smooth

Cavallotto

Vigna Scot Dolcetto d'Alba 2012

Smooth, drinkable - would pair well with anything. Had with a wonderful Italian meal.

Ruby wine club notes: The Cavallotto family claims sole ownership of the beautiful Bricco Boschis cru in the Castiglione Falletto district (also home to Azelia), where they have been growing Nebbiolo since 1929 and bottling their own wine since 1948. These richly structured wines place emphasis on elegance and longevity, attributable to excellent vineyards in the Bricco Boschis and Vignolo crus and traditional long maturation periods in large Slovenian-oak casks. After meeting and tasting with Winemaker and owner Alfio Cavallotto, I was incredibly impressed with his wines and thought his Dolcetto was one of the best I had tasted all year. This wine offers the crunchy red fruits for which Dolcetto is known for, with an element of licorice, and sandalwood. This Impressive effort will pair with just about anything, but it is highly fashionable with pasta and grilled meats.

Fratelli Monchiero

Riserva Rocche di Castiglione Falletto Barolo Nebbiolo 2009

Took an hour or so to open up, but pretty good once it did. Beautifully clear Ruby red color, medium- viscosity. Nose sees oak, ripe cherries, some mustiness and earthiness. Palette sees cherry cough drops, cola, ripe cherries. A short finish was a little disappointing, but as some that isn't a huge Piedmont fan, I enjoyed this. — 8 years ago

Castiglione Falletto

Bricco Rocche Barolo Nebbiolo 2006

2006 vintage. Good old fashioned Barolo. Light colour and hue. Medicinal notes. Floral and red cherry. Gorgeous crunchy tannins. Long finish. This is a step up from the '89. Plenty of years ahead of this wine. Very good indeed. NB: after 2 hours this wine is singing: roses and tar to the fore, integrated tannins, crisp acidity. Bouquet is out of this world. — 10 years ago

For me, Alex Sanchez's wines are tied together stylistically by their intense aromatics and lightness of extraction. This choice of using only free-run juice let's the vineyard sites really shine and express terroir. This particular vineyard is in Castiglione Falletto on 250 meters slopes of limestone. Tons of energy with dried dark fruit, and menthol cherry candies. Beautiful. — 9 years ago

Saracco

Moscato d'Asti 2013

Nothing like drinking this from the winery's own glass house extension with an amazing view of the Castiglione Tinella vineyards over to monferrato, followed by ride up to Fabio's house to see the land and view from there. Wine is good, experience spectacular — 10 years ago
