'Rocche di Castiglione' Barolo DOCG Oddero 2014

The Barolo DOCG Rocche di Castiglione, from the Oddero winery, is a wine with a robust and velvety body, well structured and balanced in the bouquet. The farm, located in the Langhe area, aims to create products closely connected to the territory and tradition: this always takes place in full respect of the environment and the principles of the organic method. For the Barolo DOCG Rocche di Castiglione, 100% Nebbiolo grapes are used, native to Piedmont and so called due to their slightly opaque colour. The vineyards are cultivated on calcareous soils, characterized by an optimal exposure to the sun's rays; the harvest is done by hand, in crates, just as we learn from the master enologists of the past. Soft and refined red, the Barolo DOCG Rocche di Castiglione is left to mature for 27 months in large wooden barrels and for another 9 in French oak barriques, a process which gives the final result a perfect stage of maturation.
