Rocche di Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo

Vietti's 2014 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is shaping up to be a modern-day classic. Piercing, intense and austere in the best sense of the word, the Rocche is a wine of laser-like focus that will leave Barolo lovers weak in the knees. Candied cherry, pomegranate, kirsch, rose petal and violet overtones give the 2014 its inner sweetness and captivating perfume. In a word: stunning. Don't miss it.

I am still confused about why this is so amazing coming up against all their other Barolo. I will be thinking about it for weeks..months. Thank you Vietti.

2012 V: more dark, deep character than brunate N: aromatic, dried red strawberries P: med + acid, more freshness.
