Organic. 100% Nebbiolo. The blended Barolo features fruit from Rocche di Castiglione, Bricco Boschis and Mariondino. Blended together, the fruit of these three vineyards embody the best qualities of Barolo from the Castiglione Falletto village. The grapes then undergo 25 days contact with the skins in stainless-steel tanks. Our unique tanks trap the CO2 naturally produced in fermentation and then released periodically in targeted jets in order to break the cap of skins formed on the top of the must. This process is both extremely gentle and eliminates the need for external power resources. Malolactic fermentation then takes place in steel with 25 months aging in 25 hl. French oak barrels.
Organic. 100% Nebbiolo. Bricco Boschis is a relatively large vineyard with western exposure sitting around 200-300 meters above sea level. Compared to Rocche di Castiglione, the soil here is much richer in heavy clay, resulting in lush fruit, intense color, solid structure and pronounced tannins, all of which contribute to longevity. Roccheviberti has several different parcels within the Bricco Boschis vineyard, with Nebbiolo planted higher up the slope, a small parcel in the middle called Vigna Melera planted to Dolcetto, with Barbera planted in the parcel known as Vigna Lunga at the lowest altitudes. The Nebbiolo vineyards include vines around 35 years old and a larger section that was re-planted about 5 years ago. 29 days contact with the skins in stainless-steel tanks. Our unique tanks trap the CO2 naturally produced in fermentation and then released periodically in targeted jets in order to break the cap of skins formed on the top of the must. This process is both extremely gentle and eliminates the need to for external power resources.
Organic. 100% Nebbiolo. Rocche di Castiglione is one of the smallest and most renowned vineyards of the entire Barolo area. Located at an altitude of 300-350 meters above sea level, this steeply-sloped, east-southeast-facing cru forms a long narrow strip divided into many tiny parcels. Stretching 1.5 Km long, rocche means “cliff,” an accurate description for how the site drops as much as 150 meters to the Perno River below. Composed primarily of limestone sand and tuff, the wines produced from Rocche di Castiglione are prized for their unique, well-defined aromas, soft tannins, excellent balance, and a distinctive elegance, as well as their ability to age 40 years or more. This vineyard is planted exclusively to Nebbiolo.
