From light, well-draining limestone soils, the 2010 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is a beautiful expression with loads of finesse and intensity. This is my favorite of the flight thanks to the great sense of varietal character. Balsam herb, ginger, medicinal herb, blue flower and spice find seamless integration.
The 2015 Barolo Vigna Rionda is soft, fruity and accessible. While certainly a pleasing wine, the Vigna Rionda is not especially complex nor pedigreed, especially within the context of what should be possible at Rionda, one of the greatest vineyard sites in all of Piedmont.
Aromas recalling French oak, underbrush, violet and camphor take shape in the glass. Combing structure and finesse, the firm, full-bodied palate delivers Marasca cherry, blood orange, licorice and oak-driven spice framed in tightly knit, fine-grained tannins. It's still youthfully austere so give it time.
