Among the most uncompromising traditionalists in all of Barolo. The Roagna family has farmed these Castiglione Falletto slopes for five generations, employing methods unchanged for over a century—extended maceration, large Slavonian oak, and patience measured in years rather than months. Rocche di Castiglione is one of Barolo's most storied crus, producing wines of extraordinary power and longevity. Luca Roagna now guides the estate with the same philosophy: let the vineyard speak, intervene minimally, and allow time to reveal complexity. This 2020 will reward decades of cellaring.

"The 2020 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is one of the highlights of this range from Luca Roagna. It is also a wine that needed 12+ hours to open. The wine's aromatics and inner perfume are total seduction. That's Rocche di Castiglione. Bright and focused on the palate with striking red-toned fruit, the 2020 Rocche is utterly mesmerizing. It is a Barolo that satisfies the hedonistic and intellectual senses. Readers who can find the 2020 should not hesitate, as it is a deeply moving, utterly profound wine of the highest level." —Antonio Galloni

"All about extreme finesse, the impeccable 2020 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione from Roagna is a beautiful wine, starting with its enticing nose of woodland berry, lavender, eucalyptus and dark exotic spice. Elegantly structured and well balanced, the delicious palate delivers succulent Morello cherry, wild raspberry, orange zest, star anise and cinnamon accompanied by taut, refined tannins and fresh acidity. Drink through 2040." —Kerin O'Keefe

More about Roagna

Luca Roagna is the fifth generation in a family that's been making wine in Barbaresco since the 1850s. His Dolcetto comes from vines over 45 years old, fermented with real patience and aged in neutral oak. This is the kind of wine that makes you wonder why everyone doesn't make Dolcetto this seriously.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Polaner Selections has to say about this wine:

VineyardSourced from a .5 hectare parcel in Rocche di Castiglione Falletto which is just above and bordering Pira.OrientationSouth-facing parcel.SoilThe soil is a mix of marl, sandstone and limestone.ViticultureThe vines for this wine are between 25 and 50 years of age.VinificationFermentation 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.AgingThe 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.
