Tasting Notes

Vietti Rocche di Castiglione Falletto Barolo 2011 offers a remarkable expression of Barolo at a compelling value, embodying the prestigious Rocche pedigree without the premium pricing typically associated with powerhouse vintages like 2010 and 2016. This exquisite wine is sourced from a premium private cellar, ensuring exceptional provenance and quality.

Renowned for its elegance and complexity, the 2011 vintage in Barolo is characterized by a balanced climate that produced wines with refined tannins and vibrant acidity. This vintage showcases the unique terroir of Falletto, where limestone-rich soils contribute to the wine’s structure and finesse. The wine captivates with rich aromas of dark cherries, roses, and hints of truffle, evolving into flavors of ripe red fruit, leather, and subtle spice on the palate.

Critically acclaimed, this Barolo earned an impressive 95 points from James Suckling, underscoring its outstanding quality and aging potential. The careful craftsmanship behind this wine highlights Vietti’s commitment to tradition and innovation, blending classic Barolo intensity with a smooth, approachable finish.

This vintage is an ideal choice for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a top-tier Barolo that combines distinction and value. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future enjoyment, the Vietti Rocche di Castiglione Falletto Barolo 2011 stands as a testament to the excellence of Piemonte’s legendary winemaking heritage.

Critic Scores

A wonderfully balanced and refined Barolo with firm tannins and delicious berry, plum and light chocolate character. Better in 2018 but so gorgeous already.

Previously known as Barolo Rocche, the 2011 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione now boasts the full name of its vineyard designate. It shows profound fruit intensity with dark layers of blackcurrant and exotic spice. The overall effect is enriched, opulent and velvety. A firm tannic backbone is paired to bright acidity to fuel the wine's considerable persistence and its rich structured texture. The beauty of the wine will only improve in time.

I tasted 1,200 wines during my stay in Piedmont and can say without a doubt that no wine impressed me more than Vietti's 2007 Barolo Riserva Villero. I remember the wine vividly as if I had a glass in front of me now. In fact, I have not been able to shake the memory of the wine's profound beauty. It is etched deep into my tasting memory. Luca Currado is an immensely talented winemaker and I am absolutely convinced that this is the finest bottle he has made to date. It is the culmination of a career that is only partially complete, and this is great news for all of us who admire his work. It is a symbol of the promise to come.
