Description
Roccheviberti Barolo 2016
Varietal: Nebbiolo
The blended Barolo features fruit from Rocche di Castiglione, Bricco Boschis and Mariondino. Rocche di Castiglione with its east-southeast-facing, high-altitude, limestone soils offers acidity, tension and crisp red fruits. The west-oriented, heavy clay soils of Bricco Boschis bring lushness and darker, velvety fruit with power.
Laying claim to highly sought-after holdings in the heralded Barolo village of Castiglione Falletto, Claudio Viberti’s family has painstakingly tended to the vine since 1946. Claudio, a third-generation vigneron, has taken this winery to new heights since the release of his first vintage in 2003. His old-vine Barolo bottling from the heart of a legendary cru, Rocche di Castiglione, now commands a cult following.
