Oddero, Barolo Rocche di Castiglione other_regions_italy Tasted September 2016With fruit from Castiglione Falletto, the Oddero 2019 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is a beautiful wine with elegant lines, tight fiber and a brilliant dark ruby appearance. The bouquet impeccably follows the Nebbiolo playlist with a filigree of wild fruit layered into aniseed, iron ore and blood orange. Delicate mineral tones also appear. This wine stands apart in this vintage, with only 2,000 bottles produced.
