Oddero Barolo Rocche di Castiglione 2022

Oddero Barolo Rocche di Castiglione 2022 is a refined DOCG Barolo from one of Piedmont’s most respected historic estates. Made from Nebbiolo grown in a prized, old hillside vineyard, it reflects the elegance, structure, and age-worthy character that have made Barolo one of Italy’s most celebrated wines since the 19th century.

Tasting Notes
Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is typically deep ruby in youth, gradually taking on garnet tones with age. The nose is lifted and complex, with classic Nebbiolo aromas of rose petals, red cherry, dried herbs, licorice, tar, and subtle earthy notes, all supported by finely woven oak accents. On the palate, it is structured and precise, with firm but polished tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of wild berries, sour cherry, spice, and mineral depth. This is a wine built for aging, and it should gain additional nuance and harmony over many years in bottle.

Production
The grapes come from one of Oddero’s oldest vineyards in Rocche di Castiglione, a steep, wooded site at around 250 meters above sea level in Piedmont. The combination of altitude, slope, and old-vine conditions helps produce fruit with concentration and freshness, while the late-ripening Nebbiolo is harvested by hand in early October with careful double selection in both vineyard and cellar. After destemming and pressing, fermentation begins naturally as long as the must stays within a suitable temperature range, followed by maceration lasting 10 to 30 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in December, and the wine then matures for 2.5 years in oak casks before spending a further year in bottle prior to release.

Food & Serving
This Barolo is a superb match for rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, roast lamb, game, porcini risotto, truffle pasta, and aged hard cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours, especially when young, to allow the aromatics and tannins to open fully.

Producer
Oddero is a historic Barolo producer whose winemaking tradition dates back to 1878, making it one of the longstanding names in the region. The estate is well regarded for its classic, terroir-driven style and for its commitment to producing wines of depth, precision, and long aging potential from some of the Langhe’s most respected sites.
