Roagna doesn’t make Barolo for the impatient—and Rocche di Castiglione might be their most aristocratic vineyard of all. It’s a steep, south-facing cru with thin soils, crazy old vines, and a rep for elegance with backbone. In short: this is where finesse meets power.

The 2019 vintage gave us Barolo with tension and clarity, and in Roagna’s hands, that means lifted red fruit, dried roses, chalky tannins, and a long, mineral finish that just keeps going. It’s detailed, firm, and built to unfold slowly over time. No new oak, no tricks—just long macerations, wild fermentations, and patience.

This magnum version doubles down on the ageability (and the drama). Perfect for a big dinner today—or for a serious celebration down the road. Either way, it’s the kind of bottle that earns a pause when it hits the table.

Left Roagna

Luca Roagna and his family have been making some of the greatest wines in Piemonte for generations, and the quality just keeps rising. Anyone will be able to respect and admire the work of Luca Roagna: no step taken in the vineyard or the winery is without complete follow-through of thought.

Standing in the middle of one of their vineyards, you almost forget it's a place to grow grapes. Grass, insects and wildlife flourish throughout the vines, which are never subjected to chemical sprays, mowing or tilling. The bio-sphere is diverse and vigorous, the soils healthy: the result is impeccably grown grapes ready to become impeccably made wine.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"The 2019 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is all sensuality. Silky, aromatic and super-expressive, the 2019 Rocche is all class. Crushed flowers, spice, leather and crushed red berry fruit all grace this wonderfully nuanced, sublime Barolo. All the elements are so well-balanced. Silky tannins pull it all together on the finish, and this builds beautifully over time." -Vinous

What importer Polaner Selections has to say about this wine...

Varietals
Nebbiolo
Vineyard
Sourced from a .5 hectare parcel in Rocche di Castiglione Falletto which is just above and bordering Pira.
Orientation
South-facing parcel.
Soil
The soil is a mix of marl, sandstone and limestone.
Viticulture
The vines for this wine are between 25 and 50 years of age.
Vinification
Fermentation lasts ten days in large wood casks. They ferment with a pied de cuvee made from their indigenous yeasts. They then use the technique of submerged cap -- which can last 60-75 days.
Aging
The wine is aged in large neutral French botti. The oak Luca uses is never toasted but instead made by using hot steam instead of flame. The wine is normally aged for five years in wood before release.
