Merchant's description
A vineyard prized for its elegance, Rocche di Castiglione is a single plot in Castiglione Falletto with vines planted in 1940, 1950 and 1968. Intense, inward and broody at this stage, the 2016 is nonetheless hallmarked by its typical defining features of beautiful balsamic notes, herbaceous rosemary and effortless freshness.
