Roagna Barolo Rocche Di Castiglione 2016

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Here is an exciting new submission from Roagna. The 2016 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione (with 2,713 bottles made) shows quite a few sides to its character. There is a slightly softer side with ripe fruit that dovetails into a spicy side in which you get a clear whiff of white peppercorn. From there, we venture into earthy aromas with iron ore, rose and dried violet. Lastly, there is crushed stone or granite. All of these various facets emerge over a very clean, long and polished mouthfeel.
