In this vintage, the Rocche vines saw more stress compared to Lazzarito. The nose of the 2021 Barolo Rocche Di Castiglione is deeper and spicier on the nose with aromas of rosemary, fresh lavender, cherries, grenadine, and anise. The structure is more foursquare and noble, with ripe tannins and a more muscular feel throughout the palate. It demands time in bottle before drinking over the following 20 years.

95 pts Aromas of red fruit, strawberries, raspberries, dried herbs, violets and crushed stones. The palate is juicy and full-bodied with fine-grained tannins that turn chewy toward the finish but balance the core of pretty fruit. Better from 2027.

94 pts The 2021 Barolo Castiglione is a superb entry-level Barolo from Vietti. Rich, deep and layered in the glass, the 2021 offers tons of near- and medium-term appeal. The blend of sites is compelling. Dark red-toned fruit, spice, menthol, and licorice are all beautifully amplified. In 2021, the Castiglione approaches the level of the crus, and that is saying something.

92 pts This red is highlighted by macerated cherry, strawberry,rose hip, hay, earth and eucalyptus aromas and flavors.The dusty tannins remain on the finish, leaving a chalky feel, yet this is balanced overall, showing fine length.
